About the Item

This petite secrétaire is perfect for small spaces. Small drawers with original hardware and multiple shelves are perfect to hold writing paper, notes, and small collectibles. The curved back makes it pleasing to look at from any angle. Pencil trays adorn both sides which are perfect for holding pens, brushes, and calligraphy tools. The round cutout was made for holding an ink pot. The fruitwood on this piece has gorgeous patina. It’s missing the original hinged fold-down drawer. Since the metal pulls are intact it can be restored, although it is a beautiful accent piece in its current condition. Can be restored to original intent for an additional charge.
