Hand-carved circa 1850, the form of this bleached drop front secretary commode is distinctly Dutch (more specifically from what used to be Holland).  The undulating and protruding sides sit atop wonderfully carved paw feet.  Three tiers of drawers are aligned neatly beneath a drop-front writing section.  When the writing surface is pulled down, the interior drawer system is revealed with a hidden compartment, a lockable door, and nine pull-out drawers.

CONDITION: Good antique condition.  Minor nicks and losses, with slight age separations.  Evidence of old fills, strengthening to moldings, and bleaching of wood, leaving light traces of the original finish.  Beautiful verdigris to the bronze hardware.  Commensurate discoloration to the writing surface.
