Descripción
Writing desks, generally fall-front desks sitting on top of a chest of drawers, having compartments, slots, and cubbyholes above. For secretaries surmounted by a bookcase, use "secretaries-bookcases." The term "secretary" originally referred to a small, portable writing desk, often with drawers, that was placed on top of a table. In modern usage, these small portable desks are generally called "escritoires," and the term "secretaries" refers to larger pieces meant to be placed against a wall.
