This Antique Eastlake Victorian Walnut Cylinder Desk, circa 1900, is a masterful representation of late 19th-century design and craftsmanship. With its rich walnut finish and meticulous Eastlake carvings, characterized by geometric patterns and finely incised lines, this desk is a testament to the artistic ambitions of the era.
The desk’s top is a story in itself—it has been thoughtfully replaced with a walnut table leaf, which not only maintains the aesthetic continuity but also adds an intriguing chapter to its historical narrative. This modification showcases the desk’s journey through time and the practical adaptations it has undergone to remain functional and beautiful.
Featuring a cylinder roll top that opens to a well-organized interior, complete with compartments and a slide-out writing surface, this desk blends decorative appeal with utility. Below, several drawers with ornate brass pulls offer additional storage. Resting on casters for mobility, this desk is perfect for any traditional study, where it promises to be both a focal point of beauty and a testament to historical craftsmanship. 44h x 42w x 22d
