A striking example of Italian craftsmanship, this 20th Century Rococo Style secretary desk combines refined elegance with practical design. Crafted in walnut and burled walnut veneers, it showcases the lively grain and warm glow of the wood, highlighted by a lustrous finish.
The serpentine front features four deep drawers adorned with original brass hardware, all resting on cabriole feet with carved details. Above, a drop-front writing surface opens to reveal an interior fitted with multiple small drawers and compartments—perfect for organizing stationery and personal treasures. Topped with a mirrored cabinet featuring shaped doors and a decorative pediment, this piece balances storage and display with Italian flair.
The desk bears a maker’s label from L. Castiglioni e Figlio, Mobili d’Arte, Isola della Scala, Verona, confirming its origin from a respected northern Italian workshop.
An impressive statement piece at nearly 8 feet tall, it would make a dramatic addition to a library, study, or formal living space.
