Antique Desk Writing Traveling Civil War Era Square Nails Brass Hinges Old
Early Traveling/Writing Desk. Very nice. Very early traveling desk in good used traveled condition. This is only a guess based on my knowledge of materials and construction methods but I would think this desk to be at least 150 years old and quite possibly much older than that. There is as you would expect age splits chips. Lost of finish, the brass hinges are getting weak, and maybe some screws tightened or replaced. I also though the old ink stains very charming and important to the desk. Finish is original other than a light coat of a high quality wood oil I applied.it was so dry that I could not bear to leave it alone) This fantastic old traveling desk ships to the lower 48 STATES only. local pick up is always welcome with an advanced notice.

We have never oiled wax or cleaned this piece with anything other than a very slight damp cloth ever A long time ago we were told to ... moredo this to preserve the original finish. Todays products will ruin the original patina Also there was question about the top not being original because of seams in wood on underside- they are from the trim edging being added and not a replacement top off of a sewing machine cabinet as first suspected The top appears to be original with some slight cracking and water spots. And an x scratch on side-see pics Very hard to find anymore NO RESERVE LOCAL PICKUP ONLY NR!

Antique Civil War Era Roll Top Desk with Hutch
Roll Top Desk Up for sale is an antique roll top desk. This belonged to my mother for more than 50 years. She got it from a family whose grandfather(a civil war officer) owned it during late 1800's. The left side bottom needs to be re-glued. The dowels are there but no longer stay together. It is only an issue when we have moved it and then only if we didn't keep it held together. It is very solid with no movement when it is in place. At one time(a LONG time ago) water was spilled on it and it has some staining. Mostly on the left. It could be refinished. But can be used and displayed as is with no real detraction from its looks. The pictures make the uneven finish stand out much more than in person. The top piece of wood(under the curio cabinet) is in moderate condition and has a crack along the top. The roll top works very nicely ... moreand it will lock the drawers if closed all the way.
