Description: Fine Quality Victorian Walnut Renaissance Revival Two Part Double Burled Barrel
Cylinder Secretary. Secretary has a large carved crest with raised burl, scrolling and incising with shell
pediment. The two arched doors have raised burl and rosettes on the side stiles and delicate
incising with carving on the tops. The pleated cloth curtains on the doors inside are old but
very attractive. There are four original adjustable shelves on the inside. The double inset burled
cylinder is in wonderful original condition with two well carved raised floral handles. The
cylinder rolls back to reveal a lovely burled fitted interior with pull out writing surface. The
surface is old and usable and appears to be the original one. The base has two large raised
burled panel doors with fancy rosettes in each corner and a custom file on the
interior right side. This lovely secretary is exceptionally clean, structurally very sound, and
beautifully designed.
