Groop,
This writing desk needed its base glued back together and
refinished, top repaired and some touch-up. It will get a new
leather top with embossed gold trim. The inside has its original
green felt and gold trim. The last photo reveals a somewhat
hidden compartment. The new owners found many letters from the
late 1800’s.
What makes the whole story astonishing is the fact that the writing desk was found in the alley of a very wealthy neighborhood. I think I’ll start driving down more alleys.
