ROLL TOP DESK

• A rolltop desk is a 19th century reworking of
  the pedestal desk with, in addition, a series of
  stacked compartments, shelves, drawers and nooks
  in front of the user.
• The rolltop desk was the mainstay of the small or
  medium sized office at the end of the 19th
  century and the beginning of the 20th. It
  gradually fell out of favor with the introduction
  of the steel desk and the coming of greater
  quantities of correspondence and other documents,
  which made the small stacked drawers and small
  shelves obsolete.

• Even today rolltop desks are popular as an
  antique item. They are usually expensive
• especially if the wood used is expensive.
• Because it was produced in vast numbers and at
  varying
• levels of quality, the rolltop desk is popular
  in the antique market.
• It is also popular amongst set decorators who
  want to recreate the "ambiance" of an office at
  the
• turn of the previous two centuries, or during
  famous eras like prohibition.
