A red lacquered secretary bookcase in the Chinoiserie style, hand-decorated throughout with gilt chinoiserie scenes of figures, birds, and florals. The domed, broken-arch pediment is topped with twin turned finials and crowns a glass-front upper cabinet with a diamond-latticed door, opening to three interior shelves. The slant-front desk below reveals a fitted interior of pigeonholes and small drawers, with a painted writing surface. Four graduated drawers with original brass pulls complete the base, which rests on shaped bracket feet.
