circa: 1940 width: 32 height: 42 length: 18 This charming antique oak secretary desk was English-made around 1940 and recently imported to Atlanta, Georgia. The style is reminiscent of a traditional English design originating in the Jacobean period, which is most characteristic in the paneled cabinet doors, shaped apron and bobbin-turned legs. The solid, quartersawn oak remains quite beautiful, with a rich complexion and a pronounced grain that have grown more beautiful over the years with the development of a lovely patina. The solid brass hardware also contrasts wonderfully with the oak, making this quite a stunning secretary. The single drawer features dovetailed joints, while the secretary fall, drawer and cabinet doors all lock with an accompanying key. The doors and interior of the fall have developed separations in the wood, which are natural developments common to solid wood furniture, while one of the back feet has recently seen repairs to old damage. The top contains four filled-in nail holes, so at one point in time this secretary had a bookcase sitting on top of it. The fall also operates a little stiffly and doesn''t fully shut on one corner but otherwise, this secretary remains quite sturdy and thus overall condition is very good.   « Less

circa: 2000 width: 38 height: 86 length: 18 This walnut secretary bookcase is crafted in England as a Georgian period reproduction. The burl walnut displays an incredibly rich complexion and the striking grains that have made them so popular during the centuries of English furniture-making. Elegant shaped paneling and Georgian style brass pulls complement the wood beautifully, while the fall is inlaid with a writing surface of fine brown or green leather bordered by gold tooling. The bookcase features three adjustable shelves, while the cabinet contains a single stationary shelf and the secretary section features three drawers and several compartments. All three sections lock with an accompanying key, just as in genuine Georgian period furniture. Shaped bracket feet provide sturdy support and rest on removable casters. The two sections separate for shipping and easy movement, so there is no need to worry a bout fitting this piece through narrow spaces. Without a doubt, this lovely Georgian style secretary bookcase would make a fine addition to any home or office!   « Less

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.   « Less
