About the Item
This very rare Kindel reproduction is part of The National for Historic Preservation Collection, The Cliveden desk and bookcase is truly a masterpiece. An outstanding example of the Rococo style, the Cliveden desk and bookcase is English, circa 1750, and part of the collection on display at Cliveden Mansion in Germantown, PA. Kindel Furniture Company was selected as licensee to the National Trust to make a faithful reproduction of this secretary desk. This reproduction has all of the outstanding qualities of the original. Made of select mahogany, the bookcase has a "broken molded pediment" with decorative frieze and a superb hand-carved bust of John Locke on the central plinth. There are four unusually deep shelves in the bookcase, two of which are adjustable. The two doors have individually glazed panes, featuring beautifully molded trellis work and escutcheons. The desk has four graduated drawers, detailed with cock bead molding and bat wing open cut brasses resting on robust ogee bracket feet. The interior of the desk is fitted with drawers and pigeon holes and a central cabinet with two columns, that when pulled out, revel secret compartments. Not only extremely functional with abundant storage space, this commanding secretary desk is a work of art. It is no longer produced and only a limited number were made.
