Description
This is an exquisite Handmade Solid Wood Chippendale Style Secretary with dovetail joints that was styled after an original New England antique. I'm not sure what the wood is but I would believe it to be Mahogany. I can find no markings that indicate who built this secretary. This is a grand piece of furniture that is over 7 feet tall. It has many special features such as folding doors, many small compartments that appear to be strictly decorative but are actually drawer, slotted adjustable shelves as well as solid brass hardware. This looks as beautiful with the desk up and doors closed as with them open. This is in excellent/mint condition. It is in two parts and has metal brackets on the back to hold them securely although this is such a heavy piece I can't imagine the top could ever be knocked over. The pictures do not show the top center finial in place as the room is not tall enough to have it in place. This is approximately (to the best of my ability to measure) 92" tall and the finial would add about another 6" to the height. It is 38 1/2" wide at the base (the widest point), the shelves are 9 1/4" deep and 29" wide and the desk top is 24" deep and 33 3/4" wide. This is truly a work of art and rare in its beauty and mode of construction (no nails were used). Every part of this is of the highest quality. I'm not sure when this was made but we have owned it for over 25 years. The only reason I am selling this lovely secretary is that we have downsized and it is simply too big for our home and is wasted in the corner we have it which is the only place it would fit. We hope it will find a home where it can be appreciated fully. As I've indicated this is an extremely heavy piece of furniture and would require professional movers. This is for local pickup only. If you are not within driving distance of our location, you might go to uship.com....I've heard good things about this service and I'm sure there are other moving services available. The chest is located in Axton, VA 24054 which is about an hour north of Greensboro, NC, a little over an hour from Roanoke, VA and the same from Lynchburg, VA. Thanks for looking and good luck on eBay. Please email any questions. !
