This is a charming late 19th/early 20th century Venetian secretary bookcase. The drop front Secretaire-Bookcase is hand painted in acanthus leaves over a pale green base. The secretaire section features two small drawers and three arched cubbies. The bookcase is designed with a double-domed pediment above four shelves. The secretary retains its original painted surface with anticipated natural light patina. The diminutive width of the secretary allows it to fit into multiple interior designs from bedroom to sitting room to study.
