I have this beautiful secretary desk I love . It has no makers name on it and I am unsure of age . 1800's ? The top comes down to make a writing table and it has many cubby holes and drawers inside . Now for Amber and those who have watched my hairdo's here is getting ready to go out and my Mom in disbelief laughing wondering how it will turn out :-) All my wood critters are shown also in photo.
