A stunning example of late 19th-century craftsmanship, this Victorian cylinder roll-top secretary desk is crafted from solid oak with richly figured burl walnut veneer panels. The desk features a rare cylinder roll-top—a single, solid curved panel that slides back smoothly to reveal a beautifully organized writing workspace. With Eastlake and Renaissance Revival styling, the desk includes: • Two dovetailed writing drawers, plus cubbies and vertical slots • Original green felt writing surface (shows wear consistent with age) • Lower cabinet storage with interior shelves and vertical file compartments • Elegant scrollwork corbels, turned knobs, and carved moldings throughout • Original hardware with functional drawers and smooth-gliding roll top • Top surface features pre-drilled holes from an old hutch or gallery rail (optional restoration opportunity) Circa 1880–1895 Primary wood: Solid oak Accents & panels: Burl walnut veneer Condition: Very good antique condition. Structurally sound. Cosmetic wear includes surface marks, felt wear, and small scuffs as shown in photos. Patina is original and rich with age. Missing key. Price: $895 OBO (all reasonable offers considered) Comparable desks of this quality and style range from $900 to $1,500+ depending on condition and region.
