About the Item
This striking Art Deco secretary desk and storage cabinet showcases the bold geometry and refined craftsmanship characteristic of early 20th-century design. With its strong vertical stance and dramatic veneer patterning, the piece functions beautifully as both a sculptural storage cabinet and a functional writing desk.
The exterior features a richly toned wood case with chevron-patterned veneer doors, creating visual movement and symmetry typical of the Art Deco period. When opened, the drop-front reveals a thoughtfully scaled writing surface, making it ideal for use as a compact home office desk, entryway workstation, or statement piece in a living space.
The tall, architectural form offers generous enclosed storage while maintaining a relatively slim footprint. The combination of decorative veneer work, clean lines, and multifunctional design reflects the era’s emphasis on elegance paired with practicality.
Dimensions:
70” H × 30 3/8” W × 16” D
Desk height: 28.5” H
Desk open depth: 28.5” D
This piece works especially well in interiors that lean Art Deco, Hollywood Regency, eclectic modern, or transitional, where its graphic presence can stand on its own.
