$2200 Item #painted secretary 0501-8 Width 38" Height 39 3/4" Depth 18 1/4" Danish secretary in original brown grain paint.The pullout on the top drawer is meant to give a shelf for arranging jewelry and small items,likely this was a man's dressing piece. The hardware fits the time period of c.1870 but is not matching. We can't decide if they used two kinds of hardware -unlikely or if over time some of the bail handles broke and the owner found similar hardware. There is a repair to the pull out which we will paint to match.Otherwise this dresser in great shape.

1. Remove screws on left hand side and pull flap to
you after losening the iron support with the end of a little screwdriver. You pull only on the left hand side at first then the right hand side will come free. 2. Remove flap from secretary |
 |
3. In this photo you can see the iron on the left still
sitting in the secretary. You can leave it there if you like. At this point... Glue back lip on secretary if broken with Gorilla Glue. This glue will foam up but when it is dry, it is easy to remove the excess. It will take several hours to dry. |
 |
3. Loosen the screws on right hand side
and put one or two washers under the point as shown. You are trying
to make the flap WIDER so that it can't fall out again. |
 |
4. Tighten back the screws and it will look like the photo at left. |
| 5. To reinsert the flap, first insert iron on right
hand side of flap in the hole in the secretary. Hold the flap on an
angle just the reverse of how you took it out, in other words the left
side will be farther out. You will know that it is in the right position by raising the flap to see if it fits properly. 6. Then set the iron into the flap on the left hand side and slide flap back so it lines up with screw holes. 7. Try to fit a washer behind left hand point on iron before the flap is all the way in on the left hand side. 8. Tighten screws back up. 10. Test for 50 pounds of pressure. !11. if flap falls down, repeat with more washers! |
