Description:

This is a model of a late Victorian / Edwardian roll top office or writing desk which features an S-shaped tambour front.  This tambour front can be rolled back to reveal pigeon holes, pen trays and drawers.  The desk is supported by a twin pedestal base with center drawer. Each pedestal side has four drawers and a slide for extra working surface.  Each of the drawers has a carved handle.  All of the drawers and slides can be opened or closed as desired.  A desk of this type would have been made circa 1900.
