Baroque Secretary Desk, Switzerland, Circa 1750
A refined mid-18th century Swiss Baroque secretary desk with an elegant bombe front and beautifully figured walnut veneer.

The desk retains its original bronze mounts and escutcheons, delicately cast with rocaille motifs typical of the Baroque aesthetic.
Expertly refinished with traditional shellac hand polishing, enhancing the natural depth and warmth of the walnut.
