Stunning Antique One Of A Kind Notary Desk With Working Safe Bell
An antique notary desk is a specialized piece of furniture designed for official notarial duties, typically from the 19th century, circa 1830-1850. These desks often feature multiple compartments, for organizing documents and a lockable section to secure important papers. One unique feature found in some antique notary desks (like this one) is a built-in locked safe, designed to store valuable items securely. Often, these safes were equipped with a small bell mechanism that would ring when the safe was opened, adding an extra layer of security to alert the notary or office owner. Has signs of wear and patina consistant with age and use. One of the backlegs has been professionally restored.
