Antique Arts & Crafts Mission Style Desk Solid Quarter Sawn Tiger Oak Desk
The design of this American Antique Arts & Crafts Mission Style Solid Quarter Sawn Tiger Oak Desk, circa 1910, is classic Arts & Crafts/Mission style. Inspired by the works of William Morris and Gustav Stickley, the Arts & Crafts and Mission Style designers deliberately attempted to replace the more mass-produced ornate furniture styles with the simple lines of classical furnishings carried through in understated straight lines. Construction included extensive use of quarter-sawn oak, sturdy well portioned design, unadorned lines, and functionality and utilitarianism as key. This Antique Arts & Crafts Mission Style Solid Quarter Sawn Tiger Oak Desk exemplifies just that, with its solid quarter sawn tiger oak construction, straight-line slats and simple straight-lines. The Antique Arts & Crafts Mission Style Solid Quarter Sawn Tiger Oak Desk measures, 40.00 inches H X 32.00 inches W X 15.00 inches D, and has the original wooden knob, original key escutcheon, and original hardware. |
