Chippendale Style Secretary Desk, Late 20th to Early 21st Century

Item Details

This two-piece secretary desk features a classic Chippendale silhouette with a broken arch pediment and a central turned urn finial. The upper hutch contains two glazed doors with arched muntins, opening to reveal three adjustable interior shelves. The lower base consists of a slant-front desk that opens to a fully fitted interior with document cubbies and five small drawers. The desk body utilizes a traditional block-front design with four graduated long drawers, each accented by ornate brass batwing pulls and escutcheons. The unit is elevated on bracket feet with decorative scrolled aprons. Forensic inspection of the drawer sides reveals precise, machine-cut dovetail joinery and modern secondary woods, characterizing this as a superior 20th-century revival piece rather than an 18th-century antique.
