Description

Mid-Century Rosewood Secretary Desk by Far Eastern Furnishings

This mid-century rosewood secretary desk by Far Eastern Furnishings is a beautifully crafted piece that seamlessly blends functionality with cultural symbolism. Constructed from solid rosewood, this desk features a finished back, allowing for flexible placement in any room.

The drop-front panel is adorned with a deeply carved "Shou" (壽) longevity symbol, a traditional Chinese motif representing long life, prosperity, and good fortune. When opened, the panel reveals a well-organized workspace, including a removable divided compartment with:

  • Two dovetail drawers, each measuring 1.5” in height.

  • Vertical compartment: 7.25” H x 3” W.

  • Horizontal compartment: 4.75” H x 9.5” W.

Two side supports automatically extend 5 inches forward when the drop-front section is opened, ensuring a stable writing surface.

Below, the desk features four spacious dovetail drawers, each adorned with hand-carved recessed longevity medallions serving as integrated handles. 


Condition:

In good vintage condition, with some wear and signs of use consistent with age. The drop-front mechanism operates smoothly, and the desk remains solid, exceptionally heavy, and structurally sound.


Dimensions:

  • Overall: 42” H x 36” W x 18” D
