Description

Antique bowfront secretary bookcase with original bowed glass. Has 4 adjustable shelves and a drop down desk top that is hinged. 3 drawers below secretary top drawer has a rounded front. Above the bookcase and secretary are 2 original beveled edge mirrors with carved design above. The secretary front has a carved tree design. Plain feet that are on rollers. The case was refinished by my grandfather about 40 years ago. The lock face plate on the bookcase appears to be a replacement and was probably done at the time of the refinishing. The top has a carved design with a curved trim that is attached to each side of the carving. There is a small shelf above the secretary that is supported by a small turned post and also a turned post under the center front of the top of the case. The secretary has a small drawer and 2 pigeon holes above it and 2 more to the left and 2 on the right side to hold stationary. It also has a curved pen shelf on the left side beside the pigeon holes.
