Gorgeous rosewood Rococo Victorian secretary made by Thomas
Brooks, Brooklyn, NY (see photo of back of cabinet). It has an open carved
crest on top that dowels into a top shelf (some warp to this shelf). This
shelf is supported by two fancy turnings in front and a horizontal mirror
behind. Note the two fancy decorative "cups" in front of the mirror.
Beneath this is a beveled mirror two door cabinet with ornate turnings
decorating the sides. The mirrors are original and remnants of the original
yellow silk backing remain (see photo). We could easily have these mirror
backs recovered in the fabric of your choice. The desk interior is
exceptional. Like the interior of the drawer and cupboard, the interior
frame is a light satinwood. The four rosewood drawers with line inlay and
lid provide a stunning contrast. A new leather with gold tooled edge was
installed for the writing surface. The drawer has a carved bottom edge with
a shell in the middle. The desk is supported by four elegant cabriole legs
with rose carvings on the knees. The key works the top door locks and can
be used as an aid in opening the desk lid. The vibrant grain of the
rosewood on this desk is spectacular. This is a super quality desk by one
of the eras premier furniture makers!
