Several panels to exterior of desk show separation along grain and have been stabilized as needed over time.
One panel to back side with the most visible separation. There are areas of wear to top, including several indentations and shallow gouges, losses to veneer along few edges. Top surface likely cleaned and maintained over time preserving original finish and older wear. Painted frieze details appear to be all original. Appearance is honest and presents well overall.
Desk features seven drawers and two recessed shelves. Wright would like to thank Christopher Long for his assistance in cataloging this work.
