Beschreibung

Roll bureau or roll secretary. Mid 19th century. Solid mahogany and veneered on oak.

Standing on 4 twisted turned table legs with 5 long frame drawers, a work surface that can be closed with roller shutters and a top with sliding doors. The top has a new green leather surface. There are 4 further small drawers inside. Flame mouldings decorate the top.

In the course of the restoration, a supposed signature of the cabinetmaker was found on the back of the upper attachment, which unfortunately is hardly decipherable. In any case, the first name “Jacob” and the year “1859” are legible.

78 cm or 147 cm high / 30.7 inch or 57.9 inch high,

142 cm wide / 55.9 inch wide,

40 cm (top) or 87 cm deep / 15.7 inch (top) or 34.2 inch deep.

Legroom: 65 cm high / 25.6 inch high x 58 cm / 22.8 inch wide

Very good codition, restored ready for everyday use (among other things veneers glued down and completed, surface refinement with shellac, new leather surface).

 

The furniture can be disassembled into 3 parts for transport.
