Re: help on Secretary
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that Secretary is an inexpensive production piece, I can tell from the photo. Likely you will never find one just like it. Now, I have a cabinetmaker that can reproduce it, however we would work at a higher level of build unless you really wanted us to "dumb down" the joinery and construction techniques. And here's the problem with that piece - the design form is not very good. You have to then ask yourself the question, "Do you want to spend reproduction money on what is not a very good design?"
It would cost the same to make it right and alter the design to make it correct, than to replicate it just "as is". We have done them both ways many times in the past.
A copy of that, hand-made, would run $ 3,500 to $ 4,500 and there may be delivery fees unless you pickup in Charlottesville, VA or my Store in Alexandria, VA
