Antique Walnut Secretary Desk with beautiful hutch top. This early secretary desk has a great look!
Of course, the desk is a two part desk. On top, there is a set of beautiful wavy glass doors. Underneath, there is a really nice slant front secretary desk that rests on two supports. Also, there is a center drawer. Inside, the desk features a nice mix of cubbies and small drawers to keep you organized.
The desk is in very good condition. However, some fixes and repairs have been done over the years. On the back, two narrow strips of wood were added to bridge the gap of the back boards.

Despite these fixes, the desk still has a stunning look and would be a useful and beautiful statement piece in any historic home.
