Handsome Victorian Walnut Renaissance Revival Slant Lid Secretary Desk with an
unusual feature on the interior with an inset glass inkwell and curved pen holder. The top gallery has
a fancy acorn finial with elaborate carvings, decorative rosettes, and shaped raised burled panels.
Underneath is a deeply recessed panel with half round carvings, rosettes and pretty openwork on
the sides. The deeply recessed panels on this piece are especially well done (see photos of the lid
and doors). There are corresponding raised burl panels and rosettes on the lid and base along with
leaf and flower carvings on the side stiles. The two key holes have especially fine and delicate carvings
around them and there is the original, old large key. The interior has the original green cloth surface
(with many ink stains from the ages) and the original trim border, which we left intact. The interior
drawer fronts and slot trim is nicely burled with the original fancy knobs on the drawers. This
pretty secretary has several fine and unusual features!
