Traditional Flame Cherry Shaker Slant Back Secretary Desk
Quality, Built to Order by Delnero Custom Furniture Company
Hand Crafted Furniture for the Entire Home, built in Up-State, New York U.S.A.
Custom built for John and Trudy of New York State, this Shaker Slant Back Secretary Desk measured 50" high x 46" wide x 18" deep. The solid planks of flame cherry wood
selected to craft the slant back harkens back to a time when craftsmen were more interested with product than profit.
A shot of the secretary's lid open and resting on the sliding pocket supports. The desk needed to be built small enough to fit into a specific spot, yet was to be used
to pay the couple's bills, monthly. The custom built chair fits under the front skirt board when the lid is up, and pulls out with plenty of leg room under the dropped
down lid.
The paneled lid has a completely flat writing surface on the back side, and conceals a series of vertical and horizontal cubby holes and 4 small dove tailed drawers.
An old fashioned skeleton key and mortise lock allow the inside contents of the desk to be securely protected.

both the recipient to participate in the creative process, and by us enjoying the e-mails of excitement and anticipation of completion.
