Item Details

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.
