Writing desk - Klepbureau

Dutch mahogany tambour/rolltop? Wait, the term is a secretaire with a flap. I'll translate as: Dutch mahogany secretaire desk, 18th century, transition period. 8 drawers in the interior and a small 'cellar' with a sliding lid that is locked with an (original) wooden lock. Beautiful, continuous and straight, nervy mahogany veneer (on oak) also on the sides. Cast and gilded brass fittings on the drawers, lid and door. Locks and keys (2) working. Lid inlaid with olive green leather. Furniture of very good quality and in sublime and ready-to-use condition. Fittings, down to the screws, locks all original, first patina. Dutch ca. 1770-1790 Dimensions: H = 109 cm (height - 80 cm to the top of the lid) W = 95-104 cm (min - max width) D = 50-54 cm (lid open 84 cm) Recently thoroughly checked for loose parts of construction and veneer.
