Reproduction Chippendale Writing Table
Available in Tiger Maple - $3,400
People of means in the 18th century could always own a desk; this piece
expressed style, wealth and personality. They were multipurpose pieces
used for writing, book keeping, file cabinets, bookcases, chests of
drawers, safes, and general catch alls.
Today, you can add phones, faxes and computers. We have a variety of
standard styles but can custom make one for your special needs. They stand
in our shop, tall, decorative and exciting, and beg to be seen.
Governor Winthrop?
This is the name ascribed to a slant-top desk. How it came to be is a
mystery. Perhaps it was designed for him. It is a classic style, sometimes
with a bookcase on top -- and thus became known as a secretary.
