A fine Napoleon III period secrétaire à abattant. This secretaire has a carcass in ebonised pearwood, inlaid with fine marquetry; and the fall front door is decorated with a central urn and scrolling acanthus, bell husks and flowering stems. This encloses the drop down writing surface, revealing a niche and four maple drawers, also inlaid with foliate marquetry. Beneath this surface there are four further drawers flanked by fluted pilasters. The whole is supported on elegant, turned feet.

French, Second Empire Period (1852–1870).
