About the Item

This striking oak secretary is a timeless statement piece with upper glass pane cabinet doors and dentil molding. The entire secretary has been given a professional custom layered blue painted finish (with gray/seafoam undertones) which has been gently distressed to reveal the original oak underneath, adding both dimension and character to this bureau while the interior is painted in antique white for contrast. Please examine the photos to appreciate the beauty and texture of the lovely finish. The middle section is the traditional desk which includes 7 petite drawers which are revealed when the desktop is opened and rests on the two extending arm rests. The upper section has 2 cabinet doors which opens to reveal 3 shelves. The top small shelf originally served as a spoon rack for fine silver. The lock for upper exterior door still functions and original key is included. A key is also included for desktop. The lower three drawers open using the attached brass pulls. This painted secretary is restored, solid/stable and ready to be used. It is built in two sections allowing for easier transportation and installation; original iron handles at sides of base cabinet. All scratches, cracks, dings, and age related separation are reflective of age/use and do not detract from the beauty nor function of this striking secretary. Please refer to professional photos for clear understanding of color, condition and details; photo lighting, individual monitor display and home lighting may all impact how item is viewed. Photos are part of description, please ask for additional photos of any areas of specific interest or concern.
