Antique Maddox Governor Winthrop Chippendale Secretary

The undulating curves of the front add depth and sophistication to the piece, enhancing its visual appeal and showcasing the skillful woodwork. The secretary is supported by bold ball and claw feet, which provide a sturdy yet elegant foundation. The drop-front writing desk opens to reveal a beautifully organized interior with two shelves equipped with plate rails, perfect for displaying fine china or collectibles.
