We are pleased to offer this most unique Antique Oak Stand-Up Desk made by the renowned Library Bureau Sole Makers, dating from the 1900s. This rare piece is in its original finish and showcases the exceptional craftsmanship and quality associated with the Library Bureau. While it does not have a maker's tag, its construction, design, and hardware are identical to other pieces by the Library Bureau, affirming its authenticity.
This stand-up desk is constructed from solid oak and features a slanted lid top with a variety of four drawer sizes for organizing files and documents. It retains its solid brass hardware, including the original threaded rods, adding to its antique appeal. The desk is tight and sturdy, designed to last through generations.
Notably, the desk has small holes on the top, suggesting it may have originally had a dainty short gallery to prevent papers from slipping off. While it is missing a couple of end caps on the baseboards, these minor imperfections are expected with pieces of this age and do not detract from its overall charm of this remarkable find.
The desk is designed with comfort and practicality in mind, featuring a generous leg space with a large cross member for footrest. The leg space section measures 30 inches high by 50 inches wide, ensuring ample room for comfortable standing use.
Dimensions:
Width: 54 inches
Depth: 27 inches
Height: 42 inches (lowest part of the top), 46 inches (highest part of the top)
The desk is finished in a medium oak stain that highlights the natural beauty of the wood grain. It will ship in two pieces as the slant top section rests upon the base, making it easier to transport and assemble.
This rare find is perfect for antique collectors, home offices, or libraries seeking a unique and functional piece that combines history, quality, and style.
