This visually impressive inlaid mahogany Hepplewhite secretary desk was made in the Concord, New Hampshire area circa 1800. Note especially the beautifully matched mahogany veneers complemented by additional mahogany veneer crossbanding for accent. The individualistic patera and broken panel inlays on the pediment are one of the characteristics of Concord manufacture along with the unique shape of the apron and the unique escutcheons. This secretary is in excellent overall original structural condition. The lower drawer brasses and the finials are replacements. The interior has been repainted blue to match the original blue under a later yellow paint. It may be possible for someone to scrape down to the original blue, although we weren't able to.

Dimensions are: H. 80" (+ finials)     W. 42"    D. 20"

$ 28,000.
