All original and dating from about 1900, this mahogany secretary desk has leaded glass doors in the upper bookcase section - we see no damage to the leaded glass panes. The four shaped columns have Ionic carved capitals. The heavy brass handles and richly colored original finish are all original on this stately antique furniture piece.
The two shelves inside are adjustable on iron pegs. The drop front writing surface is supported by heavy brass arms, and inside are tiny compartments and drawers. Drawers are dovetailed, and there is some wear and "crackling" on the drawer fronts, see photos. Dimensions are 36" wide, 21" deep, 6'6" tall, and the writing surface is at 30" from the floor.
