We are pleased to be offering today this wonderful example of tiger sawn oak office furniture made by one of the better furniture companies back in the 1880s to 1910 era, Derby. Derby made many office pieces such as: file cabinets, chairs, flat tops, bookcase, sectionals and roll tops. Here is a great example of their workmanship. This desk is wider than normal, being 66 inches wide. It has a high-quality interior with better than average pulls. It has the most unusual option of the swing side tambour was infamous in the 1890s on this desk. When the tambour roll is hidden, you can swing the sides out to work off your companion file or library table. This has never been refinished. It is in the original dark finish and the varnish has worn off in a few places. There are stains on the top from the old-time ink bottles and a little discoloration on the center drawer. One of the pencil trays was missing the face and our cabinetmaker was able to recreate one that looks just like the original. This desk would be outstanding completely restored or refinished.
