A lovely antique oak tambour roll top writing desk. We date this desk to the early 20th century.
The desk is fitted with a tambour roll top which is constructed from slats of wood. The roll top slides back to reveal the interior writing surface. The roll top is fitted with a working lock (key supplied).
The main desk comprises of two pedestals that sit on a plain plinth base with recessed castors. There is a large kneehole area. The right hand pedestal is fitted with three drawers below a pull out slide. The top two drawers are fitted with removable dividers and the bottom deep drawer is finished to look like two drawers to match the left hand pedestal. The left hand pedestal has four drawers and there is a further wide kneehole drawer.
The top section has an array of various sized pigeon holes and a couple of small drawers.
The pedestal drawers are fitted with stand out bar handles. The drawers are fitted with a locking mechanism which locks the drawers when the roll top is closed.
The desk has an overall height of 38.5" (98cm) with a table height of 29.5" (75cm), a width of 47.5" (121cm) and a depth of 25.5" (65cm).
This lovely antique oak roll top desk has been constructed to a good standard and remains in very good solid condition with only very minor surface markings commensurate with age and usage. The top of the desk has a few darker marks and the interior writing surface has a few minor marks from past use.There is minor wear to some of the edges but primarily to the base section. The finish on the back of the desk is darker, this is likely due to the positioning of the desk in the past.
This remains a very stylish and functional tambour roll top desk. It will continue to provide sterling service for many years to come.
