This early 20th century mini-secretary desk, marked with a rare paper label from Baker & Co. in Allegan, Michigan, is a compact gem of American furniture history. Likely crafted between 1903 and 1927, it features a fold-down writing surface, petite drawers, and original cubby compartments - classic details from Baker's early years before the company became Baker Furniture.
The piece has been thoughtfully refinished in a high gloss lacquer to match Benjamin Moore’s Ivory and Grassy Fields, creating a fresh, modern contrast that honors its heritage while embracing contemporary design. The new look was envisioned by Jasmin Reese of Jasmin Reese Interiors, whose distinctive aesthetic brought a bold yet elegant transformation to this historic piece.
Dimensions: 27"W x 16"D x 38.5"H
Table Knee Clearance: 27”
