{"product_id":"trumeaux","title":"Louis XVI English vintage walnut secretaire desk chest of drawers","description":"\u003cp\u003eSplendid Louis XVI bureau plat in perfect condition, crafted in the late 18th century. This exceptional piece of furniture features perfect proportions and a straight, symmetrical line, with a high-quality solid oak wood structure. It is a complex piece composed of three essential parts: a chest of drawers in the lower section, a drop-leaf top that serves as a central desk, and a rare upper section with doors, where an open display cabinet is usually found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper crest is decorated with two simple volutes framing an elegant central plume. In the lower part, the drawers become progressively smaller, following traditional English aesthetics, and are adorned with side handles. The piece is veneered in burr wood, creating a strong visual impact, and its decorative quality contrasts harmoniously with the simplicity of its volumes, further defined by a light wood inlay that geometrically frames all elements of the bureau plat. The internal structure is equally sophisticated; the drop-leaf top, a distinctive feature of the Louis XVI bureau plat, can be easily opened to transform into a desk, supported by sturdy retractable horizontal brackets. This closable compartment houses numerous drawers and document holders, along with a practical secret compartment, accessible through a false central drawer positioned higher up. The upper section of the piece contains additional drawers and storage compartments, making it not only a magnificent piece of furniture but also extremely functional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece stands out not only for its aesthetic beauty but also for the solidity of its construction; oak has also been used for the drawer bottoms and the complex structure supporting the desk and the upper section, demonstrating unparalleled craftsmanship. Furthermore, this precious work can be divided into two parts, thus facilitating its transport: the chest of drawers and the desk in the lower part, and the upper section in the upper part, making this splendid Louis XVI bureau plat with numerous drawers practical and versatile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRestoration:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece is in its original patina and has never been restored, remaining free of woodworm and retaining its authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength: 101 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth: 60 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight: 248 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dario Raia Vintage \u0026 Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47510891659606,"sku":"345606443","price":4999.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0785\/1111\/2534\/files\/ribalte-secretaire-antico-legno-segretario-dario-raia-vintage-design-859.webp?v=1778898853","url":"https:\/\/restauriraia.com\/en\/products\/trumeaux","provider":"Dario Raia Vintage \u0026 Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
