Selling a beautiful, structurally rock-solid piece of early 1900s Arts & Crafts era craftsmanship: an original quarter-sawn "Tiger Oak" typewriter desk.
At first glance, it looks like a handsome, clean writing table. However, pulling the front wooden knobs forward glides out a hidden, heavy-duty lower typing tier on solid wooden tracks. The hinged top lid then folds flat to reveal a secondary lower workspace.
Unique Built-In Features:
• Typing Tier: Features deep routed dual pen/pencil troughs and a circular cutout socket designed to hold a glass inkwell.
• •Hidden Storage Room: The lower tier includes a spacious built-in compartment underneath the hinged lid for storing papers, files, hidden cables, or office accessories.
• The Ultimate Laptop Desk: This classic design is highly sought after today because the manual pull-out tier perfectly accommodates and conceals a modern laptop or tablet, allowing you to instantly hide your tech and clear your main desktop workspace.
Condition Details:
• •Wood & Grain: Exceptional quarter-sawn oak construction showcasing gorgeous flecked "tiger" grain patterning and a rich golden-brown finish.
• Mechanics: The manual drawer slides out smoothly and securely on its original wooden tracks.
