The upper case is surmounted with a broken scroll pediment outlined in ogee, quart-round, and cavetto molding. Mounted on the two front corners of the pediment are flame finials on plinths. The rosettes at the tips of the broken pediment are decorated with applied filigree design. Central on the pediment is a plinth-mounted ball-and-eagle finial. Below the pediment is a cornice with dentil molding. Flanking the bookcase doors are reeded pilasters with Corinthian capitals. The case has paneled doors with recessed mirrors set within serpentine frames that are beveled and carved. The doors have pierced brass keyhole surrounds. The upper case opens to reveal three shelves with ten pigeonhole slots above, flanked by two pigeonholes above three pigeonhole slots above drawers with ring pulls, and above four drawers one with a knob, three with ring pulls.    Two candle slides are below the doors. The lower case has a bomb?? shape and a fall front surface that opens to provide a space on which to write and rest on knobbed lopers. The lid opens to a central prospect unit with a lock flanked by pilasters, four pigeon holes above drawers with ring pulls, two scalloped drawers with knobs above drawers with pulls, and three drawers at the beneath the unit; two have one knob each and one has two knobs.    Below the desk surface, the case is bomb?? with four graduated drawers. Each drawer has two bails pulls against shaped escutcheons. Central on each door are shaped escutcheon keyholes. Around the base is egg-and-dart molding. The bracketed cabriole legs are carved with foliate designs. The feet are compressed ball-and-claw.    Some knobs and pulls inside the uppercase do not match, implying at minimum a few are replacements. The right mirror has been cracked. Parts of two brasses are broken. The faces of the candle slides have been replaced. The plinth beneath the eagle was broken and replaced with a tall block."},{"label":"Date Digitized","value":"7/20/2018"},{"label":"Marks, Signatures, and Inscriptions","value":"Inscribed in chalk on top of the lower case: [Thom . . .
