Fantastic Vintage Secretary Desk, Hand-carved Design And Trim.

The closer I look at this desk the more I think this could be early 20th Century or late 19th. The hand-carved flowers on the door and drawers is very special. Looking at the top piece you can see a sort of primitive nature to that design. The dovetails are wonderful, (sign of a skilled craftsman), the pulls are wonderfully detailed. The dividers on the open area are amazing and hand-made. This is a very unique. pieces, now for the work, the front door has been glued and now comes off but is intact. There is a need to tighten the framing as seen from the back (note the lower right side. Some of the hardware is thin and has on some drawers been bent and does not match with other pieces, (another sign of the hand-made quality). The key-holes have been filled, and do not match the locks fully. But this is still a piece with immense character and is a piece that you will keep for some time. 16" Depth, 30.5" Width, 53" Height, upper shelf 9.5" Depth, 29.5" Width, Tray writing surface 17x25".
