Crafted by the Honeoye Falls Furniture Co. in upstate New York, this petite Arts & Crafts ladies writing desk is a lovely example of early 20th century American design. The compact scale and gently curved lines of the drop-front writing surface reflect a transitional blend of simplicity and utility characteristic of the movement. Known for quality craftsmanship, Honeoye Falls produced furniture that bridged the decorative styles of the Victorian era with the more straightforward lines of the Mission and Craftsman aesthetics.
The desk features a single drawer with two mismatched but period-appropriate pulls, and a drop-down writing surface that opens to reveal a writing compartment inside. The original oak shows attractive grain and a warm patina throughout, and the desk’s slender proportions make it an excellent choice for smaller spaces like entryways, bedrooms, or reading nooks. Side stretchers and lattice details reinforce its structural integrity and visual charm.
In nice antique condition consistent with age and normal use. There is some staining on the top gallery, likely from a plant, as well as minor surface marks and light wear to the wood finish. A charming and practical piece with local New York roots and timeless appeal. 40h x 28w x 16d
