This handsome Secretaire is similar to those attributed to Duncan Phyfe, circa 1800, featuring numerous brass ormolu, escutcheons, and knobs. The drop lid is desk height and has a leather top. The interior is fitted with several drawers and shelves. The center area is flanked with tuned columns with brass capitals and has a mirrored back. The two lower doors lock. The hand-carved hairy paw feet are standard in gilt leaf. The columns on the exterior are fitted with solid brass capitals and bases.
A distinguished example from Noble Games, this architecturally inspired secretary blends decorative luxury with practical function. The dramatic burlwood figuring, marble top, fitted interior, and accompanying COA position this as a particularly desirable acquisition for collectors, designers, executive offices, and refined traditional interiors.
This piece carries the visual language of French Empire and Neoclassical cabinetry, while offering the versatility of a secretary, writing cabinet, and conversation-worthy decorative furnishing.
Sophisticated Neoclassical / Empire style secretary cabinet by Noble Games, masterfully crafted with dramatic burlwood veneers, architectural columnar detailing, and refined brass ornamentation.
This elegant multifunctional cabinet features a striking façade adorned with bookmatched burlwood grain, classical pilasters, decorative brass escutcheons, and a handsome black marble top. The fall-front secretary door opens to reveal an unexpectedly elaborate fitted interior complete with miniature columns, multiple small drawers, concealed organization compartments, and writing surface lined in leather-style inset material.
The craftsmanship is elevated by fine joinery construction, decorative brass hardware, figured veneer work, and richly toned finishes throughout. Included is the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) from Noble Games, adding provenance and collector appeal.
