A George II Burl Walnut Secretary
19TH CENTURY
Height 81 3/4 x width 42 1/2 x depth 13 inches.
Property from the Collection of a Prominent Family, John's Island, FL European Furniture & Decorative Arts
This bookcase presents well; however the upper section has an unusual metal structure added that does not allow for the shelves to be adjusted, and the locking mechanisms on the left door are hard to reach. Apparently this is due to the installation of a lighting system which is not possible to photograph. There are a few small areas where the veneer is cracked and lifting, but not serious. The one piece of molding that is missing from the right hand door is now located in the top drawer and fits perfectly into the space. There are a few small areas on the left side near the top where the veneer has been damaged.
The lower section has four drawers, all in good condition, and run smoothly when opened.
