<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bosko69, post: 5423003, member: 16283&quot;]Yes-like AJ,a &#039;roll top&#039;. Quote-&#039;The rolling part of a <i>roll-top</i> desk is actually a <i>tambour</i>: a flexible sliding shutter. The tambour, French word for &quot;drum,&quot; was favored by the Sheraton and Hepplewhite schools of the late 1700&#039;s. It is made of a series of closely set wooden ribs. They are glued to a backing of strong cloth, and move in guiding grooves.I guess Your&#039;s would have been a half or partial tambour.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
