Oak Larkin Desk, Secretary

This solid oak desk is referred to as a Larkin piece.  They were made available by the Larkin Soap Company.  When you bought their products you received a proof of purchase in each package.  You could then redeem them to buy a variety of furniture, such as chairs, desks, tables, etc.  The desk has its original beveled mirror and 2 small candle shelves below a fancy carved crest.  The carved slant lid retains its original working lock and key.  The lid drops down to become a writing surface.  Inside are 9 small cubbies for storage.  Below are 2 bookshelves.  The desk is in excellent condition.
