Very rare antique piece! Made by the Union Furniture company, likely between 1915-1930. Beautifully crafted piece which was made to represent earlier 18th and 19th century Queen Anne style chinoiserie secretaries which were extremely popular at the time. Hand crafted and painted, this is truly is a one of a kind piece of history!
