This impressive Victorian oak side-by-side secretary, dating to circa 1900, embodies the elegance and utility of turn-of-the-century design. Crafted from solid oak, the piece features a glass-fronted bookcase with adjustable shelves on one side, perfect for displaying cherished collections or organizing books. The other side hosts a drop-front writing desk with intricate carved details and decorative flourishes, opening to reveal a series of compartments, pigeonholes, and small drawers for storing correspondence and supplies.
Above the writing desk, open shelves and a beveled mirror create additional display space, adding both visual interest and functionality. The lower section is fitted with three drawers featuring ornate brass pulls, offering generous storage. Crowned with a beautifully carved crest and adorned with dentil molding, the piece is a testament to Victorian craftsmanship, blending ornate decoration with practical design.
One of the spindles has been repaired, and there is some minor wear to the finish consistent with its age. The interior wood surfaces show some patina, but the secretary’s structure remains strong and stable, making it a stunning addition to any period-inspired or eclectic interior. 71h x 44w x 14d
