Featuring its original finish, burl walnut, slant top, and multiple drawers, this lady's secretary desk that dates from the 1870s to 1880s in original condition. There is some minor burl walnut loss on the base drawers that doesn’t really show up; this antique secretary desk is in the original, as found condition, right out of a Massachusetts home. It has a burl walnut fancy V shape carved top crest, pierce carved center crest, and incise carving on the supports. It has carved molding going down both sides of the lid, which is the highlight of this desk, because it has a big burl oval panel with four big accent corner blocks. Someone had put two brass knobs on the top to open the desk, which don’t belong.
