Two-part portable fall-front desk, including small drawers and book shelves; grain-painted "mahogany" decoration; 48 1/2 in. H., 36 1/4 in. W.; together with a tavern chair of the period.

Has some weathering and loss of paint. ---------------------------------------------- Additional comments, May 1, 2014: The piece is in pretty good shape overall. The paint is largely intact, though it has darkened with time, and the wood has a slightly weathered or dusted patina. We do not see any maker's marks.
