SOLD Antique Secretary Desk, Oak Carved Governor Winthrop Desk
This Antique Secretary Desk is a very unusual find in the antique market -- a Governor Winthrop carved block front Chippendale desk isn’t that unusual normally, but this is in a tiger sawn oak, with original finish to boot! For every 100 mahogany slant top desks we get, we are fortunate to get 1 oak one. This last month, I was fortunate to get 2! This desk has all the Chippendale style pierce carved hardware, as well as the keyhole, still intact. The brass gallery is all there. The supports pull out from the sides when you pull down the slant top and it reveals the simplistic interior with two drawers. The desk has never been touched inside. It has the typical scratches and wear and tear. There are a few drops of paint where someone was painting. This would look fantastic refinished as it has the alligator finish, where the finish as stretched and shrunk over the years. There is no key. It has a block front spade foot and a rope braided molding going down both front. It has plank sides. Routed edge around all the block front drawers. The overall size is 30 inches wide, 17.5 inches deep, 31 inches high to the writing lid, 43 inches high to the brass gallery, 40 inches high to the top of the desk.
