We have never had the opportunity to own a piece quite like this one. It has been our experience that most Victorian Side by Sides are typically constructed of Oak, and are slant front Secretary’s not Cylinder Roll Secretary’s so this Walnut piece with luscious burl accents is a very rare find indeed. What we do know is that it is very special and would be quite beautiful in the home or office of the distinguished collector of Walnut Aesthetic Period Victoriana! Novice antique collectors should be aware that any antique over 100 years old will have some type(s) of slight or minor imperfections or marks of character. It is exactly these time-acquired features that intrigue collectors to ponder about how the piece must have been used and by whom. Such marks of use and character only add to the authenticity, charm, and desirability of the piece.
