Furniture / Household Appliances / Antique desk
English term or phrase: drop-leaf/drop-frong secretary desk
In a text that I'm writing, I'm referring to a particular antique desk that my husband bought. The leaf comes down to reveal cubbyholes and little drawers.

It was very similar to the one shown here:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/322518690612?rmvSB=true. Image 6 shows what it looks like when the leaf is down.

I always thought that a secretary desk was one with drop leaf but also bookshelves above. However, from the pictures I see, it can also refer to the I'm thinking of, without the bookshelves.

I'm hoping to avoid a long description, if possible!

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
