Venetian-Style Walnut Trumeau Secretary Bureau with Mirrored Doors (Rome Warehouse)

THIS ITEM IS CURRENTLY IN ITALY. IT WILL BE IN TEXAS EARLY 2027.

An exceptional Italian bureau bookcase in the Venetian Baroque manner, sourced directly from a private Roman home. Standing nearly floor-to-ceiling, this piece commands a room with its sculptural scrolled pediment, pierced cartouche crest, and a pair of arched, beveled doors set with antique mirror glass that has aged to a soft, silvery patina.

The upper cabinet is framed in book-matched walnut and burl veneers with contrasting ebonized stringing, and its shaped arches are richly inlaid. Below, a fall-front writing surface opens to reveal a fitted interior of pigeonholes and small drawers, flanked by two carved acanthus-shell pull-out slides. The serpentine, bombé case holds three generous drawers fitted with their original cast-iron rococo handles, and stands on carved cabriole feet.
