This delicate deaconess desk was produced in the same workshop as an iconic group of Shaker candlestands with underhung drawers made in the Hanock Bishopric/Hancock, Massachusetts or Enfield, Connecticut. This is one of the finest known examples of a rare form, with a provenance in the Andrews collection prior to 1935, and last on the market in 1986, purchased by us  from a stellar private collection.
