About the Item

This is a fantastic and unbelievably exuberantly carved solid oak secretary desk with frolicking cherubs and incredible carving for an oak desk. Usually this kind of crisp carving is reserved for easier to carve woods such as walnut or mahogany, not oak which is so difficult to carve this way. This is a remarkable desk in good condition and measures 42 wide x 22 deep x 39 tall. The desk dates to the 1900s era.
