About the Item

This incredible Italian secretary desk, attributed to the renowned 19th-century master carver Luigi Frullini, is a museum-worthy example of Renaissance Revival craftsmanship. Executed in richly patinated walnut, this narrow figural desk is intricately hand-carved with high-relief allegorical figures, scrolling foliage, and elaborate panels that capture the drama and artistry for which Frullini is celebrated. The upper cabinet doors feature finely detailed full-length figures, while the drop-front writing surface displays an oval cartouche with mythological scenes, demonstrating virtuoso precision and depth. The desk is further distinguished by its sculptural base, with bold lion monopodia supports terminating in claw feet, adding both grandeur and architectural presence. Decorative cherub and figural finials crown the pediment, completing its commanding silhouette. Though highly ornate, the proportions remain practical, making this piece a functional work of art for refined interiors. A statement in any collection, this rare Frullini secretary desk blends seamlessly into antique, Hollywood Regency, and even mid-century modern design schemes, where it serves as a dramatic focal point. Collectors and connoisseurs alike will recognize its exceptional quality, historic significance, and timeless elegance. Measures 75.5 tall x 32.75 wide x 21 inches deep. Dates to the 1870s era and is Italian.
