C. 1874. Indianapolis, IN. This 1870s Wooton desk is a true Victorian treasure - recognized as the king of desks! It features almost 100 drawers & 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. It was really a prestigious thing to own one. CONDITION: 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: (Good).
Item Dimensions: 42" x 28 - 1/2" x 74".
