Condition
Illustration is quite accurate.
Overall condition is fine.
The veneer has a good colour and is in overall good condition, despite minor chips and an horizontal crack on the top (about 20 cm long on the upper right angle).
The inside with minor marks and scratches; the leather top is in good condition.
The three points lock works but the opening of the abattant is sometimes slightly difficult.
Classic piece in good condition with a fairly attractive estimate.

Catalogue Note
Etienne Doirat, actif pendant la première moitié du XVIIIe siècle
La particularité de ce secrétaire de pente réside dans la présence de caissons dans la partie inférieure, le bâti les reliant par une élégante accolade.
Un autre secrétaire de pente estampillé de Doirat, à la structure plus classique, est passé en vente à Drouot, étude Picard, le 28 octobre 1993, lot 144.
