This antique ladies writing desk, crafted in walnut by Carl Forslund of Grand Rapids, MI, circa 1920, comes from his celebrated Quaint American line. Compact and refined, it reflects both the Arts & Crafts influence and Forslund’s dedication to sturdy yet stylish furniture for the modern American home of the early 20th century.
The desk features a slant-front writing surface with an inlaid sunburst motif, flanked by two small upper drawers. Below, a narrow drawer provides additional storage, while the tall, slender frame with trestle-style stretchers gives the piece an elegant verticality. Brass pulls add subtle period detail, balancing utility and decorative appeal.
In nice antique condition consistent with age and use, the desk shows a warm walnut finish with a rich patina. Its compact footprint makes it highly versatile, perfect for a bedroom, sitting room, or study where space is at a premium, while its craftsmanship ensures it remains a fine decorative focal point. 40h x 24w x 16d knee height 30
