This two-part secretary desk features an upper section with a cabinet comprising two glazed doors, each adorned with intricate geometric muntins, and is surmounted by a broken pediment with a central urn finial. The lower section presents a slanting fall-front desk flap that opens to reveal a fitted interior with multiple pigeonholes, small drawers, and a central carved shell motif door. Below the desk flap are three graduated serpentine-front drawers, each fitted with brass bat-wing or willow-style pulls. The piece stands on ogee bracket feet.
Condition report:
Generally good condition, with visible surface scratches and minor wear consistent with age and use, particularly on the desk flap and feet. The finish shows some areas of dulling and minor abrasions. Brass pulls exhibit tarnishing.
