About the Item
Grand Scale Italian Olivewood Secretary Desk with Etched Courtship Scene, Circa 19th Century
This magnificent grand-scale olivewood secretary desk is a true masterpiece of European craftsmanship, showcasing the luxurious warmth and movement of richly figured olivewood veneer. The design reflects the Baroque and early Rococo influences seen in the serpentine front drawers, scrolled pediment, and bold architectural lines. The upper cabinet features two mirrored doors, each exquisitely etched with a romantic 18th-century courtship scene depicting a gentleman and lady in elegant attire — a refined artistic detail that adds both charm and sophistication.
Inside, the desk reveals finely crafted compartments and drawers for stationery and valuables, combining beauty with function. The patinated brass pulls and escutcheons complement the warm, honeyed tones of the olivewood, enhancing its deep, natural grain patterns.
This secretary desk exemplifies continental opulence and superb joinery, ideal for collectors of fine European antiques or anyone seeking a statement piece that embodies timeless romance and artistry. Its grand presence, intricate craftsmanship, and superb olivewood veneer make it an heirloom-quality furnishing worthy of the most discerning interiors.
Measures 98.5 tall x 51 wide x 23 deep.
