A very fine Italian secretary cabinet, bookcase in burr walnut, the epitome of the Italian Baroque. This grand cabinet is surmounted by a broken pediment, mounted with three giltwood figures, over a pair of glazed doors enclosing open shelves and interior lined in blue silk. This rests on the bureau base, the fall veneered with a particularly dramatic piece of burr walnut, which reveals a fitted interior of three small drawers and open compartments. Beneath this, there are three drawers of arc-en-arbalète or crossbow form.

Italian, possibly the Veneto, c.1740.
