A gently scalloped crest tops the case, and beneath it two doors open to shelving with a row of pigeonholes and three small drawers. A fall-front panel below drops down on its original iron hinges to form the writing surface. The case stands on scrolled front legs that curl into a turned foot, paired with spiral-turned back legs. Two full-width drawers make up the base, each fitted with turned wood pulls. Solid pine with visible knots throughout.

Compact enough for a bedroom or home office, with the drawers and bookcase offering storage beyond what a normal desk provides.
