This Federal period plantation secretary, crafted in solid maple, dates to circa 1830 and reflects the elegant simplicity of early American design. The upper bookcase section, fitted with glazed divided-light doors, provides an ideal space for displaying books or cherished collectibles. Behind the doors, shelved storage ensures functionality, and a set of three small interior drawers, though missing their original pulls, offer additional organizational space.
The lower section features a fall-front writing surface. Below, three full-width drawers, each adorned with oval brass pulls, offer ample storage, while the delicate turned legs and scalloped apron add a touch of lightness to the overall structure. The warm maple wood patina, beautifully aged over nearly two centuries, enhances the piece’s historic charm.
In very good antique condition, with wear consistent with age and use, this secretary remains structurally sound, retaining its original character. A versatile and handsome addition to any Federal, early American, or traditional interior, it blends historical appeal with practical function, making it a timeless investment piece. 62h x 39w x 20d
