Francis Gallo of Williamsburg, Mass. completed this desk on Oct. 26, 2008. It was shown at the Williamsburg fall festival. He has made bookcases for antiquarian bookshops in Oxford, U.K. and the Garrick Club in London.

A tall, wooden secretary desk with ornate detailing. The hutch has open shelves and cabinet doors, and the lower section features a drop-front writing surface and multiple drawers.
