This handsome antique secretary desk, believed by the family to date to the civil war era (circa 1860's) is a classic American two part piece in solid oak: an upper glazed bookcase with multi-panned glass doors flanked by decorative turned bobbin/spool columns and beaded molding, over a lower drop-front writing desk revealing fitted pigeonholes, small drawers, and compartments for organization. Standing approximately 6.5-7 feel tall and 48-49 inches wide, it features turned legs, original brass hardware, and a warm patina with typical age wear including surface scratches, minor dings, and shrinkage cracks in the top boards (no major structural issues or modern repairs) unsigned and maker unknown, this functional victorian influenced household secretary (possibly transitional Eastlake style) offers timeless charm, practical storage and historical appeal from the mid to late 19th century perfect for display or everyday use in excellent antique condition.
