* An American Mahogany Secretary Bookcase likely late 18th century in two parts, the upper section having a molded cornice over two paneled doors opening to a shelved interior, the lower section having a slant front opening to a series of pigeonholes and drawers, above four long graduated drawers raised on bracket feet. Height 96 x width 43 x depth 23 inches (closed). Estimate $ 1,000-2,000 Property from the Betty L. Bergman Trust, Chicago, Illinois Overall stable condition. Old scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Likely original finish, but even throughout. The two book drawers behind the fall front do not fully retract causing the hinged door to bow over them. One cabinet door from the upper case shows restoration to the exterior around the hinges, suggesting that the door was once previously detached. Hardware replaced. Age splits to the interior of the drawers. Blocks of the feet replaced.
