Antique Baroque Style Secretary From Spain-19th C. European Oak

Antique Baroque Secretaire -Commode from Spain – Good Antique Condition –One Antique Cast Bronze Handle Missing on Bottom Drawer of Chest – Late 1800’s-some restoration-
This antique European secretaire commode from Spain has a bookcase on top with two doors, whose frontages have hand carved figures representing the grape harvest.  The interior of the bookcase has been faux painted to represent marble and there are two shelves for display of books or accessories. The slant front desk portion, supported by two sliders, has a center square compartment with door, and to either side of this are two rectangular drawers with open storage above.  There are two open vertical file storage racks on either side of the drawers.   The slant front has three raised panel geometric carvings, two with open fields and the center with a banded stylized fleur-de-lis.

Beneath the desk portion are three full width well carved drawers, the top drawer being the shorter in height.  There are two cast bronze antique handles per drawer, with the exception of the bottom drawer.  The right hand handle was missing when we purchased it.  The drawers are flanked by vertical pilasters.  The entire piece rests upon bracket feet.
