Each secretary drawer features hand-cut dovetailed joints, as was common in quality antique furniture, which signify sturdy construction and fine craftsmanship. The lower three drawers feature strong supports through their middles, ensuring long life and strong functionality.

Like much antique English furniture, this antique secretary offers an elegant combination of utility and beauty that would make a fine addition to any home!
