This John Widdicomb walnut Georgian secretary is a superb example of fine American craftsmanship with a timeless English influence. Featuring a distinctive tombstone-style crown, this piece is both elegant and commanding, perfectly embodying the Georgian aesthetic. The upper cabinet is fitted with aged mirrored tombstone-paneled doors, giving it a stately presence while offering a touch of romantic patina. Inside, shelves provide practical storage or display options, ideal for fine books, porcelain, or collectibles.
The lower section includes a drop-front writing desk with fitted compartments and drawers, designed for organization and function.
