    Default Antique Secretary Desk

    Can anyone help identify the age and style of this secretary? It was passed down from my great-grandparents, but I don't know the history before that.

    I believe it's old. The back is tongue and groove boards, the dovetails are handmade, and the drawer bottoms are chamfered.

    I've never seen a secretary where only the central portion flips down for a writing surface, with doors on either side.

    I think the drawer pulls have been replaced, there is a single unused hole behind each one. The finish on the inside of the doors is different than the outside.
