This example of Philadelphia craftsmanship demonstrates what the finer hands of this period could do with a secretary desk.  A scrolled top with three urn and finials are all nicely complemented by vine carving surrounding a bold carved center shell make this piece a stand out.  Two paneled doors with escutcheons complete the top half of the secretary.  The lower half of the desk has an interior with four pidgeon holes, a center door with flanking columns and eight symmetrically placed drawers.  This desk has a four-drawer arrangement with nice ogee feet.
