Step back into the grace of early 19th-century America with this striking Federal mahogany tambour secretary. This piece beautifully exemplifies the period’s refined aesthetics with its elegant lines and functional design. Crafted around 1830, the secretary features a distinctive tambour roll top that conceals various compartments and small drawers, ideal for organizing papers, letters, or small collectibles. Below, a spacious writing surface slides out to provide a stable area for reading or writing, showcasing the practical elegance of Federal design.
The lower half of the secretary is as practical as it is beautiful, equipped with two full drawers flanked by exquisite inlaid escutcheons. Each drawer sports classical round brass pulls that contrast subtly with the rich, deep tones of the mahogany wood. This secretary stands on slender, tapered legs, typical of the Federal style, which enhance its poised stance without overpowering its overall appearance.
Perfect for a refined office or a cozy nook in a living room, this antique secretary not only serves as a functional piece of furniture but also as a significant conversation starter. Its blend of utility and beauty makes it an enduring piece of history that will complement any modern or traditional space, offering a glimpse into the past while meeting contemporary needs. 47h x 36w x 19d knee height 30 less
