Here we have a secretary desk constructed from lumber-core plywood with veneers of Macassar ebony, oak, poplar and mahogany. Its legs are capped with ivory with ivory stripes running up outer sides of front supports. On the bottom of the desk is a horizontal drawer accessed by beaded tassel pulls set in ivory mounts. The desk’s contents are accessed by a key inserted into a keyhole inscribed by inset oval of inlaid ivory. Closed in the first image, there is an accompanying second image where the top half is opened. The interior and writing surface is sheathed in deep oxblood leather. There are more ivory and tasseled-pulls and to provide access to two storage drawers and cabinet on the left side. To the right are open, squared spaces. A ring of rectangular ivory inlay runs around the upper perimeter of the cabinet.
