Featured Antique Rolltop desk identification

I inherited this desk from my grandmother. She bought it in Western Kentucky in the 1960s. It used to have "wheel" on the bottom but I can find no manufacturer markings or ID anywhere. Measures approx 50"H x 42"W x 30"D. Any help would be great.

 

nice desk.......

 

Does look to be an old one (c. 1900) but there are a lot of reproductions out there. Pics of drawer construction, back, and hardware are in order to tell for sure. .

 

Only fairly recently did mfrs put a name on furniture ! And that is rare !
Agree that more pics are needed !

 

Sure. I can upload more pictures. What kind of hardware do you mean? I'll get the drawers and back now

 

WOW, the back is as nice as the front. I would be tempted to place it somewhere the back could be seen also

 

nice oak.......that hardware makes it look like a business desk...for a professional....

 

1910 to 1920 hardware has a bit of a Deco look ! Transition piece possibly ! Very nice but not a lot of resale value ! No one seems to want them any more with portable lap tops !

 

it's a keeper for sure.......but it's smaller size....is a plus..

 

Thanks for the pics. It is an old one and I am board with an early 20th century date.

 

Thanks all. I was gonna sell it. I'm moving and don't have room in the new place. Hate to part w. it but planned to list for $500. Is that light? Or in the range?

 

Awww, that's too bad.........it would have served you well.

$500 US.....in the middle of a pandemic....& economic downturn.....
sure.....if you live near a major center....where folks have old homes with lots of room & are willing to send their staff to come pick it up in their F-350....

Otherwise...cut that in half....be prepared to come down.......or deliver.....and hope for the best !!

 

I would stay with that price ! You can always come down if needed but,, you can`t go up ! It appears to be in great condition !

 

Very nice piece! If you must sell, I hope you get a great price.

 

Very nice original antique roll top - for home or secretary. I would speculate that the maker was either Standard of Herkimer, N.Y. or Gunn of Grand Rapids, Mi. I would call this desk a keeper. Rod
