Description from the seller

Flip-top desk in oak or walnut wood with drawers

This roll-top desk represents a classic example of domestic furniture produced between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Characterized by sober and functional lines, this type of furniture was very common in American and European middle-class homes, where it served both as a writing desk and as a chest of drawers. The fold-down surface allowed a work area to be created when needed, while keeping a compact footprint when closed.

This type of desk is highly prized by collectors of antique furniture and by enthusiasts of vintage decor. Its charm lies in the combination of practicality and traditional aesthetics, with details such as the ornately decorated brass handles and the turned legs that testify to the craftsmanship of the era. These pieces are sought after by those who want to furnish with a classic taste or by collectors of American historical furniture from the Colonial Revival period.
