Biedermeier around 1840


Dimensions: H x W x D: 199 x 105 x 51 (99) cm

Description:
Ash veneered on softwood.
Front in closed state with three drawers below, the writing flap and a head drawer above the flap. Above is the single-door top, the so-called "hat box".
Typical regional thread inlays on the entire furniture front and also on the interior.

The interior consists of ten drawers, one of which is a secret compartment and can only be opened by a secret mechanism. Centrally, we find an open compartment with half columns attached to the side. A mirror attached to the back visually extends the column aisle.

Handles and keyhole surrounds in bone, four handles in wood with mother-of-pearl inlay.

Beautiful continuous and perfectly mirrored grain pattern over the entire furniture front.
