Title: Antique Henry Barker Secretary, need help in value?
Post by: switzersweet on March 13, 2011, 05:54:24 PM

Have this secretary, going to try and sell it for a friend......It is marked on the back with a brass label as follows
Hery Barker Ltd
Cabinet Maker/upholsterer
Nottinham, A. M
It is dusty,but in excellent conditon; I searched a lot of sites,found history on the maker,but no values,only found similar desks but none had the bowed glass in the panes,nor were they as "simple" as this piece..... I appreciate any help !

I found out he lived in Nottingham , born 1818 died 1899,so I guess this is pre 1899, just dont know how to find the worth, have not found anything like it so far,and cant seem to find a site about him with any pictures
