"Wells Fargo" desk, of substantial form, with three quarter gallery and hinged frieze, having twin bowed panelled wings, each housing banks of file drawers, these hinging to reveal extensively fitted interior of drawers, pigeonholes and compartments. The fall front with baise lined writing surface, the desk remains in good original untouched condition, showing minor signs of wear commensurate with age and use. The desk comes complete with keys. Three Wooton desks that are in the national collections at the Smithsonian Institution were the inspiration for this paper, which traces the history of the Wooton Desk Company and its products. Wooton desks were purchased by prominent persons in Europe and South America, as well as in the United States. They became a kind of status symbol, reflecting high Victorian appreciation for flexibility in furniture. Their varied exterior trimmings made them available for persons with different incomes and preferences. Measures: Maximum width: 175cm depth: 83cm height: 177cm. See less
