Antique Secretary and French Provincial Dressing Table with Mirror and Bench

By marigott, 15 January, 2019
Description

The antique secretary is oak, 19th century, with leaded glass windows, a drop down leaf for writing, and two large drawers. 

The dressing table I believe is, but do not know for sure, a replica of the French Provincial style. It has a large three-part mirror, an inset marble surface, two large drawers and two small, and a matching bench with hand-crafted needlework. The dressing table was part of a 7-piece bedroom set. 

Both items are in excellent condition and are for sale because we are moving to a smaller home.
