Description: Great rosewood Rococo Victorian cylinder secretary. The
heavily carved crest features a carved bust with intricately carved finials
on each side. Incised carved moldings decorate each side corner of the top.
A shaped half round molding surrounds the edge of the two top doors. The
interior of the top has a lovely birdseye maple back and four original
shelves with rosewood fronts. The roll is mechanical - when the writing
surface is pulled out the roll goes up. The interior is gorgeous with seven
satinwood drawers with rosewood trim and satinwood open fretwork. The
writing surface is old - possibly original. We could have a leather
installed for a further charge. There is a drawer and a two door cupboard in
the base. There are applied carvings on the doors and carved pulls on the
drawer. The sides and bottom of the drawer are made of a vibrant birdseye
maple. A majestic secretary!
