Massive Antique Roll Top Desk - $2,600 - (Strongsville, OH)
This is a massive Roll Top Desk. I believe it is Tiger Oak. Possibly Quatersawn Oak. It has an S-Roll top. Measurements are 60" wide x 37" deep x 51" high back (31" writing level). This is a Tambour with double pedestals, carved pulls, and 2 curved drawers. Many cubby holes. It is very intricate. Dated to be most likely 1890's to 1910's, but, possibly as last as 1940's. Dovetails may be a combination of hand-carved and machined. The number 55298 is etched on the inside of one of the pedestals. It was restored about 20-25 years ago. The desk top has to be placed properly on the pedestals for the roll top to roll back and the pedestal drawers to open. Currently, it is too heavy for me to re-position, and I can't get the pedestal drawers to open. Haven't found the key, yet. It is in extremely nice condition with minimal staining and/or flaws. You should be able to see these in the pictures. Also, some areas were hard to clean properly. This magnificent desk has been in the family for many decades. PICK-UP ONLY!
