Statton Furniture Private Collection Secretary Desk with Broken Pediment
This is a high-quality reproduction secretary desk finished in a dark, possibly black or deep mahogany stained cherry wood, attributed to the Statton Furniture Company. The piece is constructed in two sections. The upper hutch features a classic broken pediment (swan-neck style) crown with a central turned finial above two glass-pane doors. The doors utilize 13-pane mullion fretwork, revealing interior shelving. The lower section consists of a slant-front desk that opens to reveal a fitted interior of pigeonholes and small drawers. Below the writing surface are four graduated full-width drawers. The piece is accented with traditional solid brass batwing-style hardware and escutcheons, likely indicating a Colonial or Georgian Revival style typical of the mid-20th century (circa 1950-1980). The desk sits on bracket feet. The quality of the joinery and the selection of timber suggests the superior craftsmanship for which Statton's 'Private Collection' was known. The condition appears well-maintained with a rich patina, though minor surface scratches and slight wear to the finish near the base and handles are consistent with age and regular residential use. There are no visible major structural repairs or significant missing components.
