Sekretär — Geschichte & Fakten

Viele Schreibtische dieser Art, mit hellen Hölzern furniert, wurden in den Niederlanden hergestellt. Dieses Beispiel ist ungewöhnlich wegen seiner großen Plaketten aus Jasperware, einer feinkörnigen Keramik, die geschnitzten Stein imitiert. Die Plaketten stammen aus der Fabrik von Josiah Wedgwood in England.

Wedgwood-Steingut war in den Niederlanden sehr beliebt. Vielleicht diente dieser Sekretär als Schauvitrine für Wedgwoods Agenten in Amsterdam.
