Eight small drawers and ten pigeon holes allow for the charm of this piece to flourish. Satinwood drawer faces contrast with the mahogany with an elegant balance. Three larger drawers below provide additional storage and the locking doors with brass accent, banding and individual hand cut glass provide a beautiful frame for your treasures. The shelves are adjustable. This is a special piece! A brief history of the secretary desk. The Georgian secretary desk is characterized by its combination of a writing surface with drawers or compartments for storage, often featuring a drop-down front that serves as a writing surface when lowered and as a cover for the storage compartments when raised. This design allowed for the desk to be compact and functional, suitable for use in domestic settings. The secretary desk has proven to be a popular and versatile piece of furniture through time, serving both practical and aesthetic purposes. It provided a space for reading, writing, and storing documents, while also adding a touch of elegance to interior spaces.
