Accurate Description of Item
One Circa 1900 Art Nouveau style Secretary/Bookcase Side by Side
Appraiser Remarks
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. They were a mass produced item with most North American furniture companies making similar pieces, without a label it's impossible to determine a maker. Values for them today though have declined a great deal. Pieces in need of repair and refinishing often sell at auction for less than $150.00, as the cost of having them restored professionally is not cheap. We sell similar pieces in good or restored condition for about $500.00- $800.00 these days.
Estimated Value
$300.00- $500.00
