Offered today is a charming antique ladies' flat top desk in tiger sawn oak, featuring raised panel construction and a tough-to-find-intact original gallery backsplash — a rare feature even for seasoned antique sellers like us! Dating to the early 1900s, this desk is in its original dark finish and has a nice patina, with the normal signs of use and age that give most antiques a rich character.
This desk is one of a few dozen items we recently purchased out of a New England estate. We are listing it in the current condition, but if you prefer a more finished look, we are always happy to get you a quote for refinishing in our professional restoration shop - just send us a quick note and we'll get you that information.
