Item Details
Description
Early American Mahogany Bonnet-Top Butler's Secretary Bookcase

late 18th century, in the Chippendale taste, the associated top with a broken-arch pediment and three finials, above a pair of astragal-glazed doors, the serpentine base fitted with a butler's desk drawer over three long drawers, raised on ogee bracket feet.
h. 95", w. 43", d. 24"
Condition
In overall very good condition. The surface exhibits normal, minor mars, shrinkage and wear. The case is sturdy and functional. There is a very small amount of side-to-side movement in the base, and no fore-aft movement. There are three old, cracked panes of glass. Two panes appear to be replaced and possibly a third. There is a detached piece of mullion, about 2-1/2" long, that is present and needs to be reattached. Shelves appear original. Finials may be replaced.
