This small scale secretary is a well-documented form that was produced c. 1790-1810 and is illustrated in much of the literature i.e. see Furniture, Silver, and Porcelains of Distinguished Provenance, Israel Sack. Of particular interest here is the fully developed interior within the crosshatched doors, revealing drawers and pigeonholes. This secretary is in two parts, the upper section with shaped crest centering a rectangular inlaid satinwood embellishment below brass ball and steeple finials.
