This mid-nineteenth century secretary bookcase traveled up the Missouri to a Montana homestead in the 1890s. Now it's ready to move on to a new place of honor. Crafted of solid and veneered mahogany it features a Moorish cornice. The top section has three adjustable shelves and original citron green milk painted interior. Top "drawer" drops and pulls out to reveal a writing desk and with requisite "cubby" holes. The two doors below reveal a storage area with additional shelf. 

Measures 99" high x 23.5" deep (36" with desk open) x 50" wide. The top section alone measures 62.5" high x 14" deep x 48.5" wide and separates from the base for easy moving. The base itself measures 36.5" high x 36" deep x 50" wide. 

In very good antique condition with original finish. Which shows various "dings", scuffs, and surface scratches commensurate with antiques of this age. Condition issues of note include missing portions of the two back top embellishments. Along with a cracked and repaired corner on the front top right element. The front left edge of the lower section is missing one section of edging. The bottom left door is missing it's original protective "edging". See photos for detail.
