Ethan Allen Maple Slant-Front Secretary Desk with Bookcase, Early American Style

A two-piece Ethan Allen secretary desk in solid maple, executed in the maker's long-running Early American idiom — slant-front writing surface, brass bail pulls with cast escutcheons, and ogee bracket feet. The upper bookcase opens on twin doors fitted with clear glass overlaid in a diamond-pattern grille, revealing two fully adjustable and removable interior shelves. A working key is included for the bookcase locks.

The base houses five dovetailed exterior drawers — two short over three graduated long — beneath the drop-front writing surface, which conceals a fitted interior of four small tongue-and-groove drawers flanking divided pigeonhole compartments above a central scalloped valance. The Ethan Allen maker's mark is branded on drawer interiors; the case back carries stenciled production notation. The piece separates cleanly into two sections for transport.

CONDITION

Good overall. Light scratches and scuffing throughout consistent with use; a visible scratch to the base and scuffing along the base molding are the most notable flaws. The writing surface is laminate rather than solid wood. Drawers operate smoothly and the bookcase key is present and functional.
