Accurate Description of Item
One Turn of the 19th Century Oak Roll Top Desk
Appraiser Remarks
Roll top desks made their appearance in the last quarter of the 19th Century, but were still a fixture in offices
until almost the 1930's. These desks were made predominantly in oak, but examples were also made in walnut, mahogany, maple and birch. Roll tops have always been popular in the antique market and rose dramatically in value until the late 1990's, value and demand for them since then has declined somewhat. The good news is yours is still worth more than you paid for it, we currently retail comparable desks for over $900.00.
