Mahogany Chippendale-Style Secretary Bookcase, Broken-Arch Bonnet, Slant Front

Mahogany Chippendale-style secretary with a bookcase top, in the revival style likely made in the mid-20th century. A broken-arch bonnet with a flame finial crowns two glass-front doors over shelves. The slant front folds down to a fitted interior of pigeonholes, small drawers and a shell-carved centre door, over a serpentine four-drawer base with brass bail pulls and ball-and-claw feet. Owner-measured size: 32 in wide x 17 in deep x 84 in tall. The owner states it came from her grandparents. Visible wear: light scratches on the lowest drawer and wear on the feet, shown in the photos. Pickup in Charlotte, NC by appointment after purchase; the exact address is sent after purchase.
