           Being offered for sale this Striking Victorian Walnut and Burl Walnut Secretary /Writing Desk circa 1875. The carving details and burl accent panels on this piece are beautiful! This desk measures a total height to the top of the gallery back is 65 inches, height to the top display shelf is 60 inches, total width measures 36 inches and depth at the base measures 18 1/2 inches and this fine desk weighs approximately 95 lbs. The top desk portion lift off the base portion (cabinet & drawers) allowing easier handling during moving and shipping.

   This desk offers a wonderful top display shelf with a carved rosette at the center of the gallery...there is an old repair to the right side carved shelf end which I have shown a close-up of in the pictures..repair seems solid and tight. The shelf is raised up by open carved scroll shelf supports flanking the sleek slender gallery on the desk top. The slant front desk offers a raised shaped panel of burl walnut at the center with its the lock intact on the desk but we do not have the key. Opening the desk reveals a large green felt writing surface with birdseye maple front storage drawers, desk cubbies and a sloped carved out area for pens (close-up does show an age crack in the pen tray) Height from the writing surface to the floor measures 31 inches. Below the desk is a large storage drawer with a burl walnut front, the original carved pulls and early hand-cut dove-tailed ends . The lock is also present on the drawer ...but no key. The cabinet below offers double doors each having the same decorative panels of burl walnut as the slant front portion of the desk, the lock on the cabinet door is no longer present. We believe this piece to also have its original casters intact on all four feet to aid in easier movement within your home.
