Vintage Chinoiseries red hand-painted secretary cabinet. The secretary desk is a piece of functional furniture with a secret, consisting of two parts - a chest of drawers at the bottom and a kitchen cabinet with shelves at the top.
This looks just like any other cabinet. But cleverly built into the design is a hinged panel that folds open or lays down to become a sturdy writing surface. When unfolded, the delightful interior storage compartments are revealed. Aristocratic secretaries have used these file holders, boxes, recesses, or drawers to store office supplies and desk accessories for centuries.
It's no surprise that new, vintage, and antique secretary desks are growing in popularity, with more people working from home now than ever. Attractive and versatile, they are the workstations of many busy homes, especially those that double as an office during the day and a living, dining, or bedroom at night.
fibreboard, wonderful original condition, hand painted, wear and scratches from age.
