Maplewood Secretary Desk with Hutch

This is a vintage secretary desk with an integrated hutch, manufactured by Unique Furniture Makers, Maplewood. The piece is constructed primarily from a light-toned wood, likely maple, exhibiting a warm amber finish. It features a two-part design: a hutch or display cabinet on top and a secretary desk base below. The hutch section is equipped with two sliding glass doors, allowing for the display of items while keeping them protected. The glass appears to be clear, though reflections prevent a direct view of the interior shelving. The top of the hutch is finished with a simple, projecting crown molding. The base features a large drop-front desk section, which, when opened, would likely reveal an interior organizational compartment with smaller drawers or pigeonholes, typical of a secretary desk. Below the drop front are two additional drawers, each fitted with two small, brass-tone drop handles, suggesting a traditional or transitional style. The overall condition appears to be good for its age, with a consistent finish and no immediately obvious signs of significant damage such as large scratches, chips, or veneer loss, though minor surface wear consistent with age and use is to be expected. The brass handles appear to have a slight patina, indicating age. The craftsmanship suggests a mid-20th-century quality, common for solid wood furniture from 'Unique Furniture Makers'. The construction seems robust, indicative of a durable piece designed for functional use.
