I
have inherited a fine looking Roll Top Desk.
After further inspection I find that there is allot going on with
this desk. So I had a local business man who knows some things about
this type of antique stuff tell me this: " You have a
Quarter-sawn Oak Roll Top Accountant's Desk
in extremly fine condition". He goes on to say " I have
never seen one like this ever". He went further and told me more
spec's about the desk.
#1.
It measures 55" long x 50 1/2" tall x 36" deep. All
solid oak.
#2.
It has a center hide-a-way typewriter compartment with a Remington
typewriter fastened in. It look's very antique.
#3.
It has the double locking system.
#4.
There are 34 compartments in the top section.
#5.
There are 8 drawers + 2 pull-out shelves. Bottom drawers are
dove-tailed.
#6.
There are 8 open letter slot compartments in the middle.
He
goes on to say that "This desk is an Exceptional Desk in
top-notch original shape, I can't even begin to know how valuable
this desk is". It has some numbers stamped in the
roll
top part that are: 322 12
I
sure would like to know more about it, when it was made, by whom,
it's worth, and what avenues I can pursue to get more info about this
desk. Please start me down the right road. My direct email is: [email protected]
THIS BELONGED TO MY GRANDMOTHER AND WAS PASSED DOWNED TO ME WHEN SHE DIED. THERE ARE OLD FAMILY PICTURES FROM THE 50'S OR 60'S WITH THIS HUTCH IN THE BACKROUND SO I KNOW THAT IT IS PRETTY OLD. I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS WORTH ANYTHING.
These are two vases with characters on the bottom that may or may not be signatures. They vases appear old, but I have no antique knowledge whatsoever, so I am unsure. One is in great condition and one has obviously been broken and professionally repaired.
