Oak Clad Manufacturing Large Oak Rolltop Desk
07 December 2018
Description

I have a beautifully restored Solid Oak Rolltop Desk. Made in "Vernon, California by Oak Crest Manufacturing" post 1890. I believe its considered an "executive boss' size rolltop. Possibly with an "S" curve shape vs. "C". It comes apart into two, very heavy sections (top &bottom) for easier movement. On the top half- there are 16 mini index filing drawers, x11 misc. open face slots &x2 vertical mini cabinets. There are x8 horizontal drawers plus x2 misc. drawers. X1 last mini cabinet with original locking skeleton key included. In the upper center- there is a drawer with a light fixture that has yet to be tested due to the need for a replacement cord. The current one looks frayed and dangerous to plug in. The rolltop cover itself is in tact but is currently carefully clipped up so that it doesnt move. Because it seems to be caught on something and I dont be ant to rip it by pulling bit down. It is however- present and in good condition, thus far. The bottom portion if the desk- has a large horizontal lap tray that slides out. Under the desk, by the feet- are two large "hidden" cupboard doors that swing out yo reveal a hide-a-shelves for long skiing items such as liquor, etc. There is an internal locking capability for the lower x2 horizontal &x1 large filing drawers on either side of the chair opening. Lastly, is a thin pullout board (similar to a kitchen cutting board) on the left side of desk. It is an etremely sturdy design with smooth slide drawers and flawless dovetail joints. There are several minor scratches and one knick about 3/4" long on top desk surface but could very possibly be mended easily. I just didn't want to do it incorrectly. There is NO WATER DAMAGE AND NO WARPING, SPLINTERING, or STRIPED WOOD!!! It is approximately 75.5in wide x 38in deep x 52.5in tall. The BEST PART ABOUT THE DESK IS THAT IT HAS SEVERAL HIDDEN COMPARTMENTS LIKE THAT WHICH WERE USED IN THE PROHIBITION TO HIDE LIQUOR &FAMILY HEIRLOOMS.
