Re: Secretary Hutch Desk Cabinet
These cabinet desk combo's date from the turn of the 19th century and were a hot item during the Victorian furniture craze of the 1980's to early 90's. Values for them today though have declined a great deal. Pieces like this one in need of repair and refinishing often sell at auction for less than $150.00, the cost of having it restored professionally would not be cheap. We sell similar pieces in very good or restored condtion for about $600.00 these days.
