SOLD Antique Victorian Walnut Cylinder Secretary Desk with Carvings

We are pleased to be offering today this most unusual cylinder secretary desk constructed of black walnut and mahogany. From the Eastlake era, according to the big bold hardware on the doors and drawers. This desk dates from the 1890s to 1900s. It is smaller than usual with an unusual crest on top with floral leaf carving and a dome top molded edge. The double doors are highlighted with brass trim on the hinges and the doors open to reveal a fully adjustable shelf interior. The cylinder is all intact with no splits. The cylinder lid opens to reveal a pull-out writing surface with a red vinyl insert that I don’t believe is original, a simplistic cubbyhole interior and three drawers. It looks like someone made one or two of the drawers as they don’t match up exactly even though they fit and look similar. The hardware seems to be intact except for the keyhole cover/escutcheon on the base. The drawers are all dove tail. The door on the very top of the carving has a small piece of molding missing that can be colored in so that it wouldn’t be noticeable. The big brass hardware is very pretty. The cylinder has the original brass handle. The overall size is 41 inches wide on the base, 22 inches deep on the base, 29 inches high to the pull-out writing surface, 79 inches high overall and 10 inches deep on the shelves. It is a nice two-piece unit. Shipping starts at $365 for a driveway delivery in our normal New England delivery area.
