Vintage Chinese-style red hand-painted secretary cabinet.
This stunning secretary cabinet is as beautiful as it is functional; the exterior and interior are decorated in an elegant chinoiserie style, composed of exotic Asian landscapes, flowers, and birds. The Chinese-style interior showcases a beautiful goose-yellow color that contrasts with the predominantly red exterior.
The secretary desk is a piece of functional furniture with a secret, consisting of two parts - a chest of drawers at the bottom and a kitchen cabinet with shelves on top.
This looks like any other cabinet. But cleverly built into the design is a hinged panel that folds open or folds down to become a sturdy writing surface. When unfolded, delightful interior storage compartments are revealed. Aristocratic secretaries have used these file racks, boxes, recesses, or drawers for centuries to store office supplies and desk accessories.
It’s no surprise that new, vintage, and antique secretary desks are growing in popularity, with more people working from home now than ever before. Attractive and versatile, they are workstations for many busy homes, especially those that double as an office by day and a living room, dining room, or bedroom by night. Makes a striking room creator; perfect for an entry foyer, living room, or bedroom.
Please note that this tall cabinet has two parts for easier transportation and installation.
