This is a Jerusalem desk made of olive wood from Jerusalem c. 1750. It was originally owned by a ship's captain, and was on board throughout his voyages for several years. It was purchased as a 200 year old antique in Connecticut 1958, by my husband's grandfather, who was a world traveler. The desk has a hinged top that opens to reveal 2 drawers inside,and a top piece that is not permanently attached, which contains mail slots. The right side opens to reveal 4 drawers, and there is an additional drawer that opens on the top right that contains an ink well. The inscription "Jerusalem" is written on the top front.
