This great drop front desk was made in 1912 by a cabinet maker living in Belton Missouri. A single wide walnut board is used for the tops, sides, and drop front. A single wide pine board is used for the back and drawer bottom. Wonderful hand-cut dovetail construction on the drawer.

The hardware is all original. A few repairs have been made along the way but not to any distraction. I’ve cleaned all the old wax, dirt and grime and applied a fresh coat of good quality paste wax to bring it back to what you see here. All you’ll need to do to keep this piece in top condition is an occasional wipe with a damp cloth and maybe a fresh coat of good quality paste wax each year or two.

Dropping the lid reveals a slanted writing surface. Six pigeon holes flank left and right of a central open compartment including a small drawer and open storage above.
