My fiancee and I closed on a 1921 cape cod last November. We're tired of purchasing Ikea stuff, whose cheap-modern design doesn't fit the nature of the house anyway, and will be phasing it out as finances permit -- we'd rather wait a while and spend $600-$1500 on a decent bookshelf than buy another $100 particleboard POS.
I've come into my great-grandmother's secretary desk. It's obviously seen nearly a century of constant use. I believe it's tiger maple veneer, but have no idea what style it is. We like it, so it's as good a place as any to start.
When searching Craigslist for bookshelves to complement this desk, what style should I reference?
