Louis XVI–Style Secretary with Glass Doors, Repainted Black, Blue Interior

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
A refined Louis XVI–style secretary featuring a classic architectural form and elegant proportions. The upper section is fitted with glazed doors, revealing a contrasting blue-painted interior that adds depth and visual interest. Below, the slanted writing surface opens to a functional workspace, supported by a series of drawers that provide practical storage while maintaining a balanced, symmetrical façade.

The exterior has been repainted in a rich black finish, allowing the carved details, moldings, and geometric lines characteristic of the Louis XVI period to stand out with subtle definition. The piece rests on tapered legs, reinforcing its neoclassical influence and lending it a light, composed presence despite its substantial scale.

Both decorative and functional, this secretary works equally well as a writing desk, display cabinet, or statement storage piece. Ideal for a study, library, or living space, it brings period character with a restrained, timeless elegance.
