Description

FINE and RARE design late 17th / early 18th century figured walnut veneered cabinet on secritaire chest. Very unusual design to get the secritaire drawer, normally the bottom section of these cabinets are just two over three drawers.

The bottom section stands on probably replacement turned bun feet but in the original holes. The drawers are all oak lined with original iron locks and correct type old replacement brass handles. The drawer fronts are feather banded. The secritaire drawer fully fitted inside with fold down front.

The top section with beautifully figured doors with feather banding, original hinges and lock. The inside of the doors also nicely veneered with feather banding. Fully fitted inside with drawers and cupboards, the drawers with matching old replacement brass handles and the cupboards with original iron locks. Nice shape cornice above.

The whole piece is a gorgeous colour and the great thing about it is it is not too big.

One or two old repairs as you would expect on a piece of walnut of this age but nothing serious.

SIZES; 40" wide by 21" deep by 73" high overall.

The base section is 38" high. Height to the secritaire drawer when open is 30 1/2".
