GEORGE III MAHOGANY SECRETARY DESK WITH GLAZED UPPER BOOKCASE England, circa 1780 | formerly with Ginsburg & Levy Item # 401HYF25Q A rich and vibrant secretary desk from the late years of the 18th century, it features a powerful molded crown in numerous levels, the thin upper molding over a greek-key dentil molding before a generous cove molding followed finally with a finely made and neatly symmetrical pierced fretwork. The doors feature 13 glazed panes each separated with astragal moldings, opening to reveal a silk upholstered interior with three adjustable shelves. In the typical manner, the slanted lid falls down on withdrawable lopers to give access to a tidy interior centered with a brilliant flamed-mahogany prospect door flanked by fluted pilasters on either side that withdraw to reveal hidden compartments. On either side of these are situated four pigeon-hole letter slots over four drawers. The lower case is comprised of four graduated full-width drawers hung with beautifully detailed sand-cast bronze pulls. The desk was formerly with the gallery of Ginsburg & Levy and still retains their labeling. We always enjoy carrying pieces that went through their hands, as they are almost without exception of exceedingly good quality. The present desk is a fine example that is perfectly balanced – the exquisite surface with its rich color and warm glowing patina are most compelling. Measurements: 89 7/8″ H x 20 1/2″ D x 40 1/4″ W Condition Report: One glazed pane cracked (this could be replaced upon request); minor discolorations and blemish to the interior upholstery of the bookcase; several strips added to the reverse to heal shrinkage cracks, inactive pest damage to the backboards, all stained at the same time (likely ca. 1940-60); old surface, beautifully worn and patinated with discoloration, variation and use indicators as expected; one key included; a very fine presentation.
