Jonathan’s Secrets

June 2015 – High Point, NC – In this collection of writing desks, occasional furniture manufacturer Jonathan Charles unlocks the mystery of antique cabinets whose hidden compartments contain secrets of centuries past. Upon first glance, these 18th and 19th century-inspired designs appear to bear all; but behind their unassuming facade lies a treasure trove of secret drawers and stowaway shelves that still embody the spirit of the original antiques.

A display of Jonathan Charles’ impressive craftsmanship prowess, each piece bears meticulous carvings and ornate inlays achieved only by their artisans who spend over a decade honing their skills to specialize in a particular technique. These artisans replicate every flourish, down to the hardware which is custom-cast in their in-house foundry, to preserve the spirit of the
original antiques.

Whether you’re storing secret love letters of decades ago or emergency funds, these bureaus will safeguard your most prized possessions in style.

 

HABERDASHERY CHEST (495329)
More than meets the eye, the Haberdashery Chest is a treasure trove for your wardrobe with a myriad of drawers that open to reveal 4 additional hidden compartments, perfect for shielding precious objects of desire away from potential burglars. The beveled wood doors open to reveal argyle patterned marquetry on each door’s interior panel and antique brass hardware, which are custom cast in the company’s in-house foundry. 36” W x 21” D x 72” H

The exaggerated cornice and the washed acacia wood exterior help frame the soft blue interior with its balustrade and its little drawers, including 2 secret compartments.

Beyond the 21 visible drawers and 18 shelves, the bureau also features 4 secret compartments, including pull out trays and cupboards, hidden behind select shelves. Ogee moulded glazed panels on the top are a regal foil for the lower half of the bureau comprised of a fall front shelf with chinoiserie inlaid drawers and block footed base with two storage drawers. 44” W x 22” D x 98.5” H
