    Would you call this a secretary. The picture was sent to me so sorry I don't have others at this time. I am thinking maybe 1930's or so? It seems a little different to me. I have not seen a piece quite like this. It's like it can't decided it if is a china cabinet or a secretary or a dresser. It's strange. At least to me it is. :) Thanks in advance.

    GaleriaGila Hola, y'all!

    I'm gonna guess curio cabinet with secretary/drop-down desk.
    It's more than a secretary, right?
    Secretary with benefits.

    EDIT
    Had a look around... similar items are called secretary with cabinet, secretary side-by-side, secretary and curio cabinet.

    As for a date, I'd guess about 1900. It's quarter sawn oak, but not arts and crafts style. If you like it, go for it.
