Antique Federal Hepplewhite-Style Secretary Desk (c. Early 1900’s).

Elegant drop-front mahogany desk featuring flame mahogany, book matched veneers, brass pulls, and a fitted interior with small drawers and compartments.

Classic Hepplewhite influence with clean lines, tapered bracket feet, and a shaped apron.

Excellent craftsmanship, perfect for collectors or period interiors.This exquisite writing bureau showcases a stunning book-matched wood grain, highlighting its refined craftsmanship. The drop-front door elegantly folds down resting securely on two pull-out supports, to reveal a spacious workspace surface, retaining its original vinyl with delicate gold patterning for an authentic touch of sophistication.

Designed for both function and charm, this compact piece offers multiple storage compartments behind the fold-down door inclusive of three little bow-fronted drawers, along with four additional drawers—the top drawer being shallower, making it ideal for storing stationery and small essentials.

French polished with a light restoration by us, to preserve its vintage appeal, this bureau maintains its original character with only minor signs of age, remaining in overall excellent condition.

Note/Disclaimer:

Our images form part of the item's description. Although all efforts have been made to refurbish our furniture to best represent its original state, it must be noted that most of the items we source date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. For this reason, although restored, signs of their vintage condition and age might still be visible. We will typically point out any visible/notable concerns. Take note of all photos or view the item in-store prior to purchasing.

As with most Mid-Century pieces, it is a good combination of solid wood and a high-quality wood veneer. The history of veneer on furniture is a long and honorable tradition, and it depends on the veneer's artistry, condition, and thickness the quality of the old veneer was long-lasting; for this reason, it can be retouched or sanded and refinished.
