<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 141766, member: 37&quot;]Would not call this a secretary as it is. It may have had a top section at one point, making it a secretary. I and think it is older than Edwardian period.&nbsp; Looks to be second to third quarter of 19th century mahogany roll top desk.&nbsp; From what I can see, it needs a molding on one side and a skirt along the bottom.&nbsp; Whether or not you have access to materials and the skills necessary to make the repairs, would determine whether or not it is worth salvaging.&nbsp; Solid wood skirting might not look too bad but that side molding in solid wood would not match the rest of the moldings.&nbsp; Doing these repairs correctly with matched veneers is all a bit trickier and time consuming.&nbsp; As such, I would think it would need to be a labor of love.&nbsp; The value of the piece is not great enough to warrant doing this correctly, IMHO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
