Description: Gorgeous refinished quartered oak "S" rolltop desk with
fabulous full drawer interior. The desk has raised and beveled panels on
the sides, back, and interior of the knee hole. It has a high "S" roll with
lock and working key. There is a very slight separation in the canvas of
the roll - this is only noticeable when one actively is rolling the desk up
or down. The interior has four curved drawers in addition to a number of
drawers of different sizes and several vertical file slots. There is a
pencil holder on each side of the middle opening along with a letter slot
in the back. When the roll is down, there is a slot on either side for the
secretary to slip letters in. There are four drawers on the left side, a
middle drawer, and three drawers on the right side - the bottom which is
double size is for files. Each of the drawers has an ornate carved pull. A
pull out writing tablet is on each side just below the desk surface. There
is a label under the top drawer (see photo) showing the desk was from
"Hersee & Co, Buffalo, NY." Notice the spectacular tiger grain on every
part of this fine desk. This has all the desirable features oak enthusiasts
look for in a rolltop - a full shapely interior, raised and beveled panels,
a high "S" roll, carved pulls, and exceptional grain!
