Antique English Georgian Walnut Slant Front Secretary Desk

About the Item

An antique slant front secretary desk with graduated drawers (one over two short, over two long) with retracting supporting brackets and flanked by two columns. The door with cross-banding and the cabinet with solid brass pulls and escutcheons and the whole resting on bracket feet. The door opens to reveal a red gilt tooled leather work surface, small center door with fancy brass hinges, flanked by column form "secret drawers" and an assortment of pigeon holes and drawers including 1/2" frieze drawers at top. The top surface in front of the cubbies slides back to reveal additional hidden storage. Dimensions: 39 3/8” H x 37 3/4” W x 21” D, closed ; 34 3/4” D, slant front open Condition: Please see detail photos. Leather top with expected wear. The slant front has a stable age crack which extends the width and evidenced by a linear dark shadow on the leather. Door is a little tight to close. There are surface scuffs and scratches to the wood finish especially to top. Losses to left back edge of cabinet. Wear is commensurate with age and usage. Despite wear the secretary cabinet presents in an authentic and refined Georgian manner.
