Description

Antique Oak Slant-Front Secretary Desk w/ Key & Brass Handles

This antique slant-front secretary desk showcases solid oak construction with attractive grain throughout and bird’s-eye maple drawer bottoms, reflecting quality craftsmanship of the period. The drop-front opens to a thoughtfully arranged interior featuring seven compartments and two small drawers, ideal for organizing correspondence or writing materials.

Below the writing surface are two dovetailed drawers offering additional storage, each fitted with cast brass handles and original keyholes. Both locks are functional, and the desk includes its working key. Gracefully shaped legs and classic proportions give this piece a timeless presence, making it well suited for use as a writing desk, accent piece, or collectible example of antique American furniture.


Condition

In fair condition overall. The desk has been restored at some point and shows visible surface wear, finish loss, and darker worn areas consistent with age and prior use. Interior shows wear from writing and storage. Structurally sound, with drawers operating properly and locks functioning.
