This outstanding Venetian painted secretary desk is a true statement piece, showcasing the artistry and craftsmanship of Italy’s finest furniture traditions. Standing tall and elegant, this large-scale secretary combines both storage and display with exquisite hand-painted decoration in rich hues of red and yellow. The surface is adorned with delicate floral motifs, scrolling vines, and intricate gilded accents, creating a striking and ornate visual appeal. The upper cabinet features paneled doors opening to reveal ample shelving for books, documents, or decorative objects. The slant-front writing surface provides a practical workspace while maintaining elegance, and the lower section houses a suite of drawers with curvaceous bombe fronts, offering generous storage. The finely shaped cabriole legs and rococo-inspired silhouette emphasize its Venetian character, making it ideal for collectors who appreciate continental European luxury design. Perfect for an entryway, study, or grand living room, this piece easily blends with antique, Hollywood Regency, and even mid-century modern interiors as a bold focal point. Its ornate painted finish and monumental presence ensure it will be admired for generations as both a functional secretary desk and a decorative masterpiece. Measures 87.5 tall x 44 wide x 19.5 deep.
