    Hello,
    I have a roll top desk I may be looking to sell. It is not veneer.
    All solid wood, is it walnut?
    Also does this type of desk have a name for its style? 20210408_164216.jpg
    Any comments appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Could you try for an in-focus photo please?

    it's very nice,,
    hard to tell the wood from a blurry photo....
    I'd think it's a repro from the 80's......but a good seller, if you're in the right area, with the right price!!

    good luck.!

    Agree with Komokwa that it is a fairly recent repro.

    Agree on a 70s or 80s date. Not so much a repro, but a design inspired by rolltops of the late 19th and early 20th century. Looks like walnut, though it's hard to tell. I'd think it would get $100-$200 on Craigslist or some other local platform.

    I am new to the forum. The original photo was very clear. I don't know why it looks like this.

    Not to worry, Chinchilla. Lots of new members have difficulties with photographs at first. It does get easier.

    Regardless of its age, a rather elegant and very practical piece of furniture, and in MHO one that should have had a boom with everybody working from home and all, but that hasn't.
    Not a roll top desk (think office equipment) but a bureau a cylindre, though.
