Eastlake Oak Cylinder 1890 Roll Top Secretary Desk
Expertly crafted during the late Victorian or Eastlake period about 1890, a cylinder or "barrel" shaped roll top desk is solid oak with a pull out writing surface of natural saddle leather.
The warm brown finish is in excellent condition, accenting the hand carved incised designs. Brass pulls and mounts are original on this American made furniture. The roll top is curly elm burl and glides smoothly, inside is a tiny drawer and cubicles for papers. Sides are paneled, the lower door has a raised panel and working lock. There are shrinkage separations from age, see photos.
Measurements of this very functional antique desk are 39" wide, 22" deep, 49" tall and the desk top is 29" high.
