The lower drawers feature a serpentine front that adds a graceful, romantic profile. Drawer bottoms show typical age-related cracks and separation.
The desktop rests on extending arms to reveal an interior painted in contrasting blue, fitted with six small drawers and additional storage compartment. The writing surface rests securely when open. A key is included and used as a pull to open the desk; the lock itself no longer functions and there is no key for interior.
The bureau rests on lovely carved skirt and cabriole feet. Age-related cracks and wood separation are visible along the top, sides, and feet, consistent with early construction and long use, and do not impact function. Restored, strong, and stable, this secretary is ready for use as both storage and writing furniture.
