Its fall front reveals a "gradin," a set of small drawers and compartments designed for surgical organization. Some models even concealed secrets: drawers invisible to the naked eye, operated by springs hidden under a molding. Also known as a "drop-leaf desk," it remains the ideal piece to elegantly hide your workspace with a simple gesture.
