A fine late Georgian period mahogany secretaire linen press of elegant tall proportions, dating from the late 18th to early 19th century.

The lower section is fitted with a well-graduated arrangement of drawers retaining their attractive oval brass handles and working locks, all raised on neat splayed bracket feet with a gently shaped apron.
