    Description

    I'm very
    pleased to offer for sale this absolutely exquisite Chinese tigerwood 8 drawer chest secretary with the following features:
    38" wide x 20" deep x 51.5" tall
    Fine and solid quarter sawn (tigerwood) oak throughout
    Large inlay in center of flip-open desk
    Desk cavity features envelope slots, two small drawers, a small cabinet, and of course writing space
    Gorgeous Chinese brass hardware -- joints, pulls, plates, and locks
    8 matching side-by-side drawers + flip-open desk
    In excellent antique condition, with some minor surface scuffs and scratches, but nothing egregious or particularly noteworthy
    Brought here (imported) from China likely in the 1940s or 50s
    You'll also notice eighteen (18) brass coins inlaid into the top. These coins, which I presume represent a makers mark,
    feature Chinese
    characters
    that
    translate
    into: sea or big lake; treasure or precious; expert or authority; and east or master respectively.
    Please note that this is one of three matching pieces, the other two being a horizontal 8-drawer dresser with matching mirror and a 7-drawer tallboy chest of drawers. You can find this item in my store!
