Description

A very good oak roll top desk with the preferred fielded (bevelled) panels to the sides and back, nearly always a sign of superior quality. This model is a 3/4 size desk with drawers to one side only. When the roll or tambour is closed the side drawers lock automatically. As with all of our roll top desks the most vulnerable part (the tambour) has been totally re-backed. This is not an easy DIY job and is time consuming and needs to be done in a certain way, most dealer don't do it if they can avoid it. The lock is working and the key is present. The finish rejuvenated and looking great.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Edwardian roll top desks evolved from earlier Victorian bureau designs, popularised as functional office furniture during the early 20th century to keep paperwork concealed and organised.

These desks are typically constructed from solid oak or pine with oak veneers, featuring a slatted tambour mechanism that glides along tracks to cover the pigeonholes and small drawers.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-appropriate joinery such as dovetailed drawer construction, solid brass or wooden hardware, and natural ageing of the timber rather than artificial distressing.

Pairing the dark wood tones with a minimalist leather office chair and contemporary lighting creates a balanced workspace that bridges traditional craftsmanship with modern utility.

Maintain the timber by dusting with a soft, dry cloth and treating periodically with natural beeswax, avoiding direct sunlight and excessive humidity to prevent wood warping.
