A fine pair of Louis XVI style secrétaires à abattant showcasing beige brown stone tops over rich honeyed brown wood bodies with beaded and fluted corners flanking two stacked panels decorated after François Boucher (French, 1703-1770) "The Sleeping Shepherdess" and "Pastoral Subject." The reserves are surrounded by olive green spandrels with red floral sprays, detailed with beaded and gilt borders. The upper panels open to drop-front desks with hutches of drawers and compartments with gorgeous figured veneers. Lower panels open to a series of three dovetail drawers, raised over stout, tapered and fluted legs.
