c. 1820 Italian Walnut Secretary – Two-Part Fall-Front Cabinet from Piedmont

A magnificent early 19th century Italian secretary, crafted in solid Piedmont walnut with a two-tier architectural form. The upper cabinet features paneled doors framed by relief-carved acanthus leaves and centered with a floral medallion. Below, the fall-front desk opens to reveal a fitted interior of drawers and a central compartment—designed with both elegance and functionality in mind.

The lower section continues the decorative mastery with deeply carved doors adorned with vase and foliate motifs, all framed in rich relief. Towering in scale and finely executed, this is a superb example of Italian neoclassical cabinetry, ideal for collectors of 19th century European furniture, carved walnut secretaries, or Piedmont region antiques with architectural presence.
