Help IDing Furniture 2 Slant Desks
« on: May 27, 2017, 09:26:45 am »
Can anyone please help ID these 2 Slant Desks?  Found lots of pieces that were kind of similar to the desk with the conch shell but nothing that made me confident that it was the same style.  Couldn't find any pieces similar to the other piece.  Thanks for the help!

Are you in the UK ??  What info are you looking for ??  Style, date  ect ??  A closer pic of the desks looking directly at the front and one of the dovetail joints on the drawers would help tell when made approx !!

The style of the top one reminds me of the multi-use desks from late 1800's to early 1900's that were the combination Ladies Desk Dressing table.  Can you please list the height of the piece?  The desk platform height from ground?
Thanks!

Looks like Jacobean Revival, ca. 1940.

Okay, this appears to me to be a Drop Front Writing Desk or a Book Desk.

See Link Below for a catalog from "North-Western Cabinet Company"  Drop Front Writing Desk" or "Sheraton Colonial Book Desk" you will see several similar to your first desk from 1930's.  See 8/36 and 9/36
