secretary desk
Hinged writing surface
A secretary desk is a piece of furniture combining a writing surface with storage, typically featuring a hinged desktop that folds up to conceal pigeonholes, small drawers, and compartments.
The desk portion often sits atop a chest of drawers or cabinet.
When closed, it presents a neat, vertical front; when open, the hinged panel becomes the writing surface.
Also called a secretary or escritoire.
