Description

Mahogany Drop-Front Secretary Desk w/ Mirror & Brass Hardware, Early 20th C.

Elegant early 20th-century solid mahogany drop-front secretary desk featuring a beveled mirror, brass hardware, and refined carved detailing. The drop-front writing surface opens to reveal six interior compartments and a central drawer, offering organized storage for writing materials or personal items. A dovetailed lower drawer and original brass handles highlight quality craftsmanship, while a partial maker’s label remains affixed to the rear. The piece retains its original key and functional locks.

An attractive and functional antique desk that balances classic form with practical utility—ideal for a study, parlor, or vintage-inspired workspace.


Condition:

In good condition overall with finish wear and signs of an old restoration. The locks function properly and the key is present. Structurally sound though slightly wobbly, consistent with age. Wear noted to the reflective surface of the mirror and minor surface marks throughout, all age appropriate and typical for its era.


Dimensions:

Height: 50 in.
Width: 29.75 in.
Depth: 15.75 in.
Writing Surface Height: 28.75 in.
