Original Mid Century French Solid Oak Secretaire

Offering for really excellent, elegant work space, this hugely handsome, mid century, compact French oak secretaire, ticks all the boxes.
With well proportioned upper 'open' bookshelf, displaying a handsome scalloped apron.
A beautiful central 'drop leaf' opens to reveal for a spacious tall, workspace; complete with handy upper half shelf (which can also be removed).

Its central work area further complimented by deep, generous writing surface, below - which is plenty large enough for a computer, etc.

Below, three, pretty drawers provide for more welcome storage - ideal space for storing paperwork.
All the above raised of classic pretty French cabriole legs, to escargot feet, with pretty scalloped apron, to a central carved Louis shell cartouche.

This unusual, elegant French piece comes complete with its original brass hardware and working key.

Artisan painted in a hand-mixed shade of timeless, mid-tone, 'French Ash Grey' - created to our own, unique BB recipe - and being close in tone to F&B's 'Dovetale'.

Our 'Ash Grey' mix being another of our classic, key 'neutral' colours - each of which, having been inspired by the varied hues of the magnificent dry stone walls that divide the breathtaking Derbyshire landscape, where we live.

All of the above being achieved before applying our specialist ageing techniques - finished in a manner that remains the very cornerstone of rustic French Country pieces.

Another of our unique, Belle Biche pieces, that will appeal to those of you who, (if like me), appreciate and embrace the look of authentic 'imperfection' in their painted pieces of furniture!"
