Description

We haven't been this excited over a piece of furniture in a long time, a stunner of a secretary desk, … more We haven't been this excited over a piece of furniture in a long time, a stunner of a secretary desk, 'secretaire a' battant', in amazing burls of walnut, birdeye maple, rosewood sitting on bun feet from the late 1800s, grunderzeit style design from Denmark. Precision hinged drop down desk reveals 10 drawers with star-etched button knobs and one lockable door.

Shown here in various lighting conditions, truest color if the small drawer close up photo. Compare this one those in $5000-9000 range, bought well by us and offered at a fraction of making a new one ($25-35K). Do I sound excited? less
