Victorian Oak Roll-Top Desk – 20th Century, 12 Cubby-Holes, Brass Details, Vintage Office Furniture
Step into timeless craftsmanship with this Victorian-style oak roll-top desk, dating from the early 20th century. Featuring a convex tambour top with lock and key, this desk opens to reveal twelve cubby-holes, two small drawers, and a fitted light (requires rewiring). Below, three drawers flank a central kneehole, supported by pedestal bases with brass cut escutcheons. The desk stands on eight square-section feet and shows signs of age—scuffing, scratches, and chips to the edges—adding authentic vintage character.
The interior reveals charming compartments and two petite drawers—perfect for organizing stationery or keepsakes. Ideal for vintage-inspired home offices, creative studios, or collectors of antique furniture.
Condition Notes: Roll top does not close properly; light fixture not in working order.
• Create a reading nook or writing retreat by pairing the desk with a tufted armchair, vintage lamp, and framed botanical prints. Add a Persian rug for texture
and warmth.
• Use it as a focal point in a study or guest room, anchoring the space with its sculptural presence. Surround it with bookshelves, antique clocks, or brass
accessories to echo its Victorian roots.
• Blend old and new by placing it in a modern room with neutral walls and minimalist decor—let the desk be the statement piece that adds soul and history.
A storytelling gem—rich in craftsmanship, nostalgia, and utility.
