Antique Flemish Renaissance Secretary in Stripped Oak is an amazing example of the woodcrafter's art!  The slant-front upper portion pivots open to create a desktop surface, supported by two pull outs in the frame.  A full width drawer plus three smaller drawers and even a cabinet are positioned below the desktop providing amazing storage and organizational opportunities.  Inside the desk area are more opportunities, with two small drawers, and no less than six cubby holes!  The exterior of the secretary is the most amazing, with larger-than-lifesize floral carvings covering each entire side, and also appearing on the cabinet door in front.  Bold foliates in relief adorn the drawers, each centered with a lion's head that also serves as the drawer pull.  Thanks to our proprietary stripping process, the natural patina of the wood has been retained, leaving a softer, lighter appearance that is perfect for today's decors!
