We are pleased to offer this signed queen Anne style "Wooten"
desk. On Oct 6, 1874 William S. Wooton was granted a patent for the
"Wooton's Patent Cabinet Office Secretary." He produced his desks in
Indianapolis from 1874-1884. These desks are considered the best made
during the Victorian period and are highly prized by collectors today. This
one has three embossed hinges on each side.

The pictures here show the many
fine details including the various compartments, cubbies, drawers, drop down
lid with gold tooled leather surface, fancy carved gallery, burled panels
and fancy metal mail slots and handle. We had the original finish on this
desk polished and overcoated with a thin coat of new finish. The sides on
this desk swing out. When the desk is closed the sides sag and don't quite
meet at the bottom (see photo). This commonly happens over the years on
these desks
