The overall size is 74 inches wide, 48 inches tall and 30 inches deep. The height of 48 inches is in the back at the gallery. The front slope is 43 inches high. The desk came out of an old country store in Maine that was owned by a second generation store here in Maine. It is all hand cut dove tail on the drawers. It is all solid wood with multi turn Sheraton style legs. In my over 50 years in the antique business I have only had maybe 10 of these desks. The desk was refinished approximately 75 years ago and the finish has held up nicely. SHIPPING IS NOT FREE AND IS NOT INCLUDED.
