The drop front opens to reveal a writing surface with an arrangement of small drawers and compartments, while three generously sized drawers below provide additional storage. Particularly appealing are the secretary’s relatively compact proportions: at approximately 36 inches wide and just 15 inches deep, it offers the visual presence and functionality of a substantial antique case piece without requiring the depth of a traditional desk.

Decorative details include carved and applied ornament, paneled construction, shaped side elements, ornate brass-tone hardware and casters. The warm aged finish highlights the wood grain and gives the piece the character expected of a well-used 19th-century furnishing.

A distinctive piece for a library, study, living room, bedroom or entry, and particularly well suited to interiors mixing traditional antiques with collected contemporary furnishings.
