Description

SALE~SALE~SALE~ Alice in Wonderland inspired serpentine front antique secretary desk. This gorgeous antique Mahogney Governor Winthrop secretary desk is not only breathtaking but fully functional as well. When I think of famous writer, I think of a person that needs to be inspired and motivated. Well, this amazing piece of art and history does all that. This desk was begging for a superstar transformation. The colors and design on it, scream " look at me"! She has been given the full monty! Painted in black, white, red and blue along with strategically placed Alice in Wonderland characters and splashes of gold. Not really much to say, besides enjoy the pictures. She comes with original key and hardware. All drawers are dovetail and slide well. Even the removable shelves are whimsical. Fun facts of these antique secreatries --The combination of a writing desk and storage or display unit was one of the first and most practical examples of multifunctional furniture. Tiny drawers in the middle, plus slatted spaces—and even secret compartments—reveal space for pens, envelopes, and other tiny supplies. A secretary is right at home in a bedroom/ small office. It's also typically seen in a living room as a spot for writing notes, as well as displaying china curios in the cabinets above. Arrange books in the upper portion for a library feel, or try it in an oversized bathroom. It can hold towels and a pharmacy like display of bath salts, oils, and bubbles behind the glass doors, and the lower drawers can conceal extra linens. This piece is also an all-in-one home office or a smart addition to the kitchen for holding cookbooks, napkins, and tablecloths. The possibilities are endless.....Measures 79"H x 31"W x 16"D.
