Antique Craftsman Drop-Front Writing Desk / Built-In Cabinet (c.1900–1920) – Shabby Chic Charm

Bring timeless character and authentic craftsmanship to your home with this vintage drop-front writing desk and cabinet, we believe it was originally crafted between 1900–1920. Unlike modern reproductions, this piece was built from old-growth American Hemlock or Douglas Fir (“hemfir”), known for its dense, hard wood and beautifully tight graining. Originally designed as a built-in, it was later modified with backing to stand alone, making it versatile for today’s homes. Details: • Dimensions: • 74.25” wide • 13” deep (15” at its widest point) • 49” tall • 30.75” deep with drop-front open • Drop-front writing surface — perfect for a laptop, journaling, or creative projects • Multiple shelves and cabinet storage for organization • Original latches (highly sought after by collectors) • Light, natural wear that enhances its historic character This piece is in excellent condition for its age and would make a stunning addition to a home office, entryway, or bedroom. It’s also highly desirable as architectural salvage for Craftsman-style restorations, with collectors and historic carpenters valuing pieces like this for their authenticity and quality of materials. Condition: Barely used in recent years, with only minimal signs of wear that add to its vintage charm. Asking $800 (open to reasonable offers). Pickup only. If you’re restoring a Craftsman home or simply love architectural history, this is a rare find you won’t want to miss.
