Tomlinson Desk and Chair

By DKieffer, 11 April, 2014
Description

I inherited from my parents this desk and chair listed as Sophisticate by Tomlinson. They were the original owners.  I believe they purchased this furniture in the late 1950's. It is in very good condition and has a glass top that was custom-designed to fit on the top of the desk. The pictures attached are not actual pictures of the desk but pictures I found on the web that are identical to the model of the desk and chair I have.

Re: Tomlinson Desk and Chair

We've seen this Sophisticate by Tomlinson desk go for about $350.00 at auction, we'd retail oner in good condition for about $600.00.
