Description: Choice rosewood Rococo Victorian New York City made cylinder secretary. The top section has a cupboard with mirrored doors and carvings. The satinwood interior has an adjustable shelf with rosewood front. When the barrel cylinder is rolled up a lovely four drawer three cubby is exposed. Notice the contrast between the light satin wood and darker rosewood accents in the interior. There are some slots on the right side of the pullout writing surface. There is an old, probably original red felt on the surface (some wear on this - it could easily be replaced if desired). This surface has the added feature of being hinged and lifted up to be able to write on a slant. The outside of the desk has rope twist carvings on the sides. The base has two drawers with delicately carved fronts. The lower drawer is deeper than the front would suggest. There are cabriole legs on the front and back. A very special Victorian secretary! Circa: 1860 Dimensions: 62"H x 36"W x 24"D Finish: Good original Price: $11,500.00
