Lot 248: A Queen Anne Style Walnut Burr Veneer Fall-Front Secretary Desk

A fall-front secretary desk constructed from wood, likely walnut, featuring prominent burr veneer on the fall-front and drawer fronts. The desk exhibits a Queen Anne or early Georgian revival style, characterized by four cabriole legs with carved shell motifs on the knees and terminating in pad feet.

Below the fall-front are three full-width drawers, all fitted with brass drop-ring pulls and key escutcheons.
