The secretary is old (late Georgian period) but the painted decoration is 20th century. The quality of the painting, decorating and gilding is very strong. The brasses may be original; hard to tell due to the re-painting. Sturdy and very attractive overall. The finials are probably replacements. Provenance is not known; purchased from an estate / house sale situation.
