Oak Antique Stand Up Bank Desk

Made for a bank about 1890, a solid oak tall slant top desk was used either standing or with a stool.

The deep rich finish is excellent on all sides. Clean lines reflect the period on this rugged American antique office furniture. There are two large dovetailed drawers in the upper section, the base is separate for easier moving.

This design was used in many accounting and office settings in an era when it was thought that a bookkeeper or ticket agent might fall asleep if seated in a chair. Today, working on a stool or standing is a welcome relief for many people. These desks have also been favored by artists.

Size is 59" long, 34" deep, height slopes up from 40" in the front to 42" tall at the back.
