Victorian Grand Flame Mahogany Glazed Bookcase Secretary Desk circa 1880
This exquisite flame mahogany glazed bookcase secretary desk has been meticulously restored and french-polished to its original lustrous finish.
The lower section stands gracefully on a plinth, featuring two beautifully trimmed doors with moulding and intricately carved corbels. Inside, adjustable shelves provide versatile storage. The corbels also support the pull-out secretary desk, adding a touch of grandeur.
The desk’s cylinder lid opens to reveal a functional and elegant writing space, thoughtfully designed with three compartments: a document compartment on the left, an ink and quill compartment on the right, and a central writing pad with a reclining mechanism. The leather skivers have been carefully replaced to complement the desk’s interior, and the original leather handle designs have been faithfully reproduced.
The upper glazed bookcase features arched doors with decorative beading, opening to reveal three adjustable shelves and a gold-leaf-backed interior, offering a stunning display for your cherished books and collectibles.
For added convenience, the top section can be removed, and the glazed doors are detachable, ensuring safe and easy transportation.
This piece is a true testament to craftsmanship—a fully functional yet striking statement piece for any interior.
