Antique 1880s-1910s Derby Tiger Sawn Oak Roll Top Desk #22089

Description: Antique 1880s-1910s Derby Tiger Sawn Oak Roll Top Desk #22089 Description We are pleased to offer this exceptional example of tiger sawn oak office furniture crafted by Derby, one of the premier furniture manufacturers of the late 19th to early 20th century. Dating from the 1880s to 1910, this desk showcases Derby's renowned craftsmanship, featuring a wider-than-normal design at 66 inches across, making it a standout piece for any office or study. Features: Rare Swing Side Tambour: This desk features a unique swing side tambour, a design element that was popular in the 1890s. The tambour roll can be hidden, allowing you to swing out the sides for additional workspace or access to companion file or library tables. High-Quality Interior: The interior of the desk is of superior quality, with detailed pulls and intricately carved handles on the drawers. Original Finish: The desk retains its original dark finish, showcasing the beautiful tiger sawn oak. The varnish has worn in some areas, and there are stains on the top from old ink bottles, along with minor discoloration on the center drawer, adding to the desk's character. Restoration Potential: While the desk is in good condition, it would look outstanding if completely restored or refinished. We can provide a quote for this service if interested. Condition: The desk is in its original, unrestored condition. One of the pencil trays was missing a face, which our cabinetmaker skillfully recreated to match the original. The tambour lock is missing, a common issue with desks of this age. The drawers are hand-cut dovetail and are in decent condition. Please refer to the photos for a detailed view of the desk's nuances, including the original Derby brass keyhole cover on the tambour face. Specifications: Dimensions: 66 inches wide, 36 inches deep, 52 inches high Writing Surface: 31 inches high Leg Room: 27 inches wide by 24 inches high Drawers: Four drawers on the left, center drawer, and two regular drawers on the right, with a cleverly disguised file drawer featuring a divider.
