Golden Oak Secretary / Desk, Carvings, Mirror, Drawer, American, ca. 1900

About the Item

This dazzling golden oak secretary/desk is feast for the eyes. The leaf drops down for use, and opens up displaying a little drawer and a bunch of cubby holes. Above the desk area is a shelf w/carved sides and, a curvy beveled mirror, w/carving as well. Below the desk is a drawer w/ original brass handles, and a door w/ fancy applied carvings. The legs are reeded, a nice look for this style. The drop leaf is very stabile to write on, and the if you partially pull out the drawer, the leaf will rest on it for extra support. All that being said, the best part of this is the rich color and the aesthetic appeal of this piece of furniture. One of the nicest examples of turn of the century American oak furniture.
