Works of Art | October 2015 | David Roentgen: Signed Double Writing Desk
After spending three decades at the Roentgen Museum in Neuwied on permanent loan from a private collector, this masterfully carpentered classical double secretary desk will go up for auction at Dorotheum on 21 October, 2015.
The desk’s exquisite materials and finest workmanship make it a masterpiece of craftsmanship.
The smartly designed interior consists of eight drawers and six pigeonholes. The central section is fitted with 2 doors and side mirrors and an octagonal rotary file cabinet that houses four rows of drawers and niches as well as a secret drawer on both sides.
