A 19th century mahogany secretaire chest of drawers, the secretaire drawer modelled as three short over one long and with three further drawers beneath with wooden knob handles with shaped apron below and raised on bracket feet. Height 127 cm, width 118 cm, depth 56 cm. CONDITION REPORT: This Victorian chest of drawers does require some work. The top has a full width spilt and spliced repair. The crossbanded edge has nibbles to the veneers on the corners. The left-hand return crossbanded edge has a broken section. This is approximately 20 cm long. We do however have the detached section. The secretaire drawer front is in very good condition and the mechanism operates as it should. The green baize surface is a little tired, wrinkled and worn. Two of the interior drawer handles are missing. The remaining drawer fronts are in generally good order. The shaped apron beneath has some veneer nibbles. The left-hand side of the piece has some minor scratches and a small veneer loss to the rear upper section. The right-hand side is in generally good condition with only minor stress fractures. The bracket feet are all sound and secure. There is no evidence of any woodworm.

Mignet, François-Auguste, der bedeutende franz. Historiker, Chronist der Revolution von 1789, Staatsrat, Archivdirektor des Außenministeriums, Ständiger Sekretär der "Académie des sciences morales et politiques" und Mitglied der Académie Française (1796-1884). Manuskript m. U. "Mignet" und 2 eigh. Briefe m. U. "Mignet". Zus. 61/2 S. Doppelbl. (2 mit Goldschnitt). Kl. 4to und 8vo. O. O. 1833-1841.Der vollständige 4seitige Aufsatz "Portrait de Mazarin" ist (wohl nicht eigenhändig) sorgfältig in Schönschrift geschrieben und vermutlich für den Druck bestimmt gewesen. Es handelt sich um eine emphatische Charakteristik des Kardinals Mazarin, besonders auch im Vergleich mit Richelieu: "... Richelieu avait tué ceux qui s'opposaient à lui; Mazarin se contenta de les enfermer. Sous lui l'échafaud fut remplacé par la Bastille". - Der erste der beiden Briefe (12.IV.1833) an einen General, dem er mitteilt, dass der Handelsminister einen "recours" von 200 Francs für Mr. Basté beschlossen habe. "... je vous prie d`être assez bon pour en avertir M. Basté donc je ne connais pas l'adresse et pour dire de se presenter au ministère ... quand il le voudra, il demandera M. Martin secretaire particulier de M. Thiers qui le conduira lui-même et qui ... lui fera toucher de suite la somme qui lui est dessinée ...". - Der zweite Brief an Monsieur de Carné. "Je serai tout disposé, Monsieur, à causer avec vous quand vous le voudrez. êtes-vous libre demain à quatre heures ...?". - Mignets Geschichte der französischen Revolution galt - auch in Deutschland - lange Zeit als das Grundlagenwerk zu dieser Epoche.
