Standard Grade Wooton Patent Secretary in the Eastlake style, mfg. in walnut and burl or cherry wood, with ornate turnings incorporated in the gallery, c.1884. This design was created in response to demand for the simpler style influenced by Charles Eastlake. It is easy to see the contrast between the earlier fancier renaissance revival style and the later Eastlake version when shown together. Some have the original pencil signature on a drawer of desk trimmer Zue Jackson. Gold tooled leather writing board and bronze hardware throughout. See our website for more information on Wooton Desks.
