This 19th century secretary desk is the first piece to release as part of the Ansley Family Collection — a curated set of pieces that have remained in the same family line for generations. Crafted by hand in the early-to-mid 1800s, this desk carries the hallmarks of true period workmanship: hand-cut dovetails, flame mahogany veneer, turned legs, and a fitted interior with small drawers and cubbies.
The upper glass doors feature arched mullions, a detail popular during the late Federal to early Empire period, blending classical symmetry with the more robust proportions of the 1830s and 1840s. Inside, you’ll find the original green writing surface, a rare survivor that speaks to the piece’s care over nearly two centuries.
This is a true antique, not a reproduction. It has the patina and character that only time can create. Each piece from this collection will be professionally detail cleaned before delivery, ready to take pride of place in its next home.
