19th-century miniature pine secretary was created as a cabinetmaker’s floor model, intended to showcase style and construction options for clients. The piece retains original hand-painted floral accents on the small panels. The upper cabinet secures with its original lock and key, and old wrought iron side handles remain in place.
The writing surface opens and rests on extending arms, revealing six petite interior drawers with carved accents. Below are two exterior drawers. Age-related cracks are visible, particularly along the top and sides, with old dried wormhole activity present, especially on the back.
This secretary offers both historical significance and visual interest, making it suitable as a collector’s piece or a unique jewelry cabinet. Restored, strong, stable, and ready for use.
