Federal Slant Front Secretary Desk

A stunning American country Federal slant front desk in cherry, ca. 1790, with a glazed top surmounted by a scrolled pediment.  This three piece desk (case, glazed top, and cornice) features French feet, chip carving along the lower part of the case, and line inlay around the lid, the drawers, slides and the cornice. The original interior has six birdseye maple drawers.  The glazed top retains its original glass and has a red wash on the interior.    The mahogany pulls are replaced in the original holes and are appropriate to the period.  This piece measures 37” wide, 20” deep, and 86” high.  It is in excellent refinished condition.
