This exceptional desk with secretaire dating from 1865, during the time of Napoleon III, Emperor of the French (1852-1870), displays an extraordinary level of craftsmanship & is a distinctive work of French cabinetry that displays a high level of both form & function. The joinery, selection of wood & design are all exquisite. The shaped cylinder top pulls out and folds down revealing a camel-colored, leather-inset writing surface with three small interior drawers. All of the desk drawers lock when the shaped cylinder top is closed. One drawer has a separate key that opens to a strong box that is keyed separately for valuables. The top opens to reveal letter & paper cubbies, and a slide-out tray. The bottom offers a total of nine storage drawers; the rosewood pulls are the original ones. The knee hole is wide & very ample for comfort. The exterior back is completely finished to allow the desk to float in the room or back-up to a floor to ceiling window.
