Art Deco Secretary

By cgibson715, 27 November, 2007
Description

Both side doors swing open. The doors are wood with glass panels. Behind the doors are 3 glass shelves on each side. The top center opens down. There is a drawer in the middle and the lower center section has a hinged door.

 I am curious about the value of this piece. I am thinking about buying it for my husband. We are going to look at it tomorrow night (11/29). If someone could please give me an estimate, I would really appreciate it. Thank you for your help.

I love Deco, but you have to

I love Deco, but you have to be very careful regarding the veneer as it tends to be a problem with Art Deco furniture. A lot of it was made during the Depression and costs were cut to keep furniture plants running, resulting in pieces that are prone to loose veneer, sagging doors and poorly plated hardware. If this piece is in top shape comparable pieces sell in the $600.00- $800.00 range.
