Lot #1530:
WALNUT AND BURL STANDARD GRADE WOOTON DESK
C. 1874. Indianapolis, Indiana. This 1870s Wooton desk is a true Victorian treasure - recognized as the king of desks! It features almost 100 drawers and compartments. Crafted in walnut with burl and maple accents, and a spectacular high-style Victorian gallery. The precision and detail of this desk made it so only the wealthiest folks of the 1870s could own one of these Wooton desks. Showing wear from age and use, primarily around the closing clasp, with light scratches and scuffs noted at the working areas. This desk, at one point, most likely came from a home where there was a smoker and would benefit from a professional cleaning.
This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made.
Condition: (Excellent).
Item Dimensions: 79 - 1/2" x 45 - 1/2" x 32".
