About the Item
This striking oak secretary is an elegant statement piece crowned with a beautifully curved and carved bonnet or crown.
The entire secretary has been given a professional custom layered salmon/desert pink painted finish which has been gently distressed to reveal the original oak underneath, adding both dimension and character to this bureau.
Please examine the photos to appreciate the beauty and texture of the lovely multi-layered finish.
The middle section (with contrasting black painted interior) is the traditional desk which includes eight small drawers which are revealed when the desk work is opened.
The upper section has 2 cabinet doors which opens to reveal a central shelf and three interior drawers.
The lock for upper exterior door still functions with 1 key included.
The lower four 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 heavy iron side handles on lower base cabinet.
All scratches, multiple cracks, dings, and age related separation (especially drawer bottoms) 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.
Open Depth:37.75" with desk top extended
Floor to Desk Height: 27.5"
