ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Note: This secrétaire bookcase is made of highly exotic timbers, and the use of mirror plates within the astragal glazed doors is extremely rare. The design is distinctly Chinese in character and inspired by Thomas Chippendale’s first edition of ‘The Gentleman and Cabinetmaker’s Director’, published in 1754. Over the years this charming piece has acquired a beautiful honey-coloured patination. -
