Description
Marvelous hand-carved antique French walnut Art
Nouveau desk with original hand-beveled, glazed, bookcase top and its
original tooled leather writing surfaces, all in excellent fully restored condition. Art Nouveau furniture is
known for its delicate, graceful, flowing lines and this secretary has
utilized them all. From its side paper holders to its pigeon holes
(letter holders), to the interesting whiplash decorated feet this is an
exceptional desk. We have been unable to find a mark or signature of the creator of this piece but it is likely from the French School started by E.Galle, it is
very rare that those pieces are signed. This magnificent example should
be owned by someone who appreciates great quality and craftsmanship in
the rare Art Nouveau style. France, circa 1900
