A fine 18th century English Queen Anne-period furnishings such as this walnut secretary are incredibly rare and important examples of English cabinetmaking, all original. This secretary is of the most outstanding calibre, boasting desirable double bonnet, mirrored cabinet doors, bracket feet and its original wood writing surface. The interior is skillfully constructed with a choice of compartments in which to hide one’s important documents and valuables.

The secretary bookcase, or secretaire, was an innovative piece of writing furniture introduced in the early 18th century. For the wealthiest households, it proved to be the preferred piece of writing furniture. As the demand for these versatile furnishings grew, so did the level of craftsmanship and overall beauty. Secretaries such as the current offering soon became the focal point of the manor, serving as statements of culture and education.
