Antique English Secretary Bookcase - For Sale

Antique English Secretary Bookcase
Price: $11910.00
circa: 2000 width: 43 height: 94 length: 25 This stunning secretary bookcase was recently handmade from Georgian Period wood from about 1820. The burl walnut, having developed a lovely patina over the years, now displays an incredibly rich complexion and a striking grain, both of which look fantastic in contrast to the elegant solid-brass hardware that adorns the drawer fronts. The distinctive arched top is also quite beautiful, while walnut crossbanding and satinwood string inlay accent the fall and drawer fronts. The locking desk section, too, looks quite splendid, with several drawers and compartments and a broad writing surface. The locking bookcase contains fully adjustable shelves, while it separates from the base for shipping and easy movement. Structurally, this secretary bookcase is utterly sound. The shaped bracket feet are as sturdy as they are elegant, while the solid-oak drawers still operate smoothly. The drawers all feature hand-cut dovetails and all but the lowest lock. There are, however, a few notable scratches on the drawer fronts in addition to minor stress marks on the feet as well as a few veneer chips on one of the sides. Also, there are several small separations in the moulding that have been repaired and filled in. Otherwise, this secretary remains in excellent condition.
