A gorgeous antique Mission or Arts & Crafts period writing desk by Charles P. Limbert Co. a famed cabinet maker in the US. The brand mark is located in the inside of the drawer side. Their quality is unmatched, and in their catalogs advertised "All Cabinet work from Limbert's Arts and Crafts Workshop has our Trade Mark branded into the wood. This is a means of identification, a guarantee of excellency and the acknowledgement we and our associates make that Limbert's Holland Dutch Arts and Crafts Furniture will give absolute satisfaction, and that we stand ready to exchange or make good any piece that is defective in any way."
This desk has a large knee space drawer and includes the original key! It also has two smaller upper drawers and slots to organize all your desk accessories. It is very sturdy and absolutely stunning!
A group of Holland Dutch cabinet makers assembled in Grand Rapids & Holland, Michigan to build this beautiful line of furniture with age-old techniques that used solid white oak wood (not veneer!) and simple art forms lacking ornate decoration that came to be known as the Arts and Crafts period. Charles P. Limbert is listed as a defining designer and influencer of this time period and design style, and the pieces bearing his Trade Mark are highly sought after by collectors. His work is very similar to the widely popular Stickley furniture of the same time period.
This desk is documented as piece #733 in the company's circa 1900 catalog Booklet #114. (Image of the catalog page is listed at the end of the images.)

The finish seems to be the original finish and the best satin soft feel. Only call out is the underneath of the drawer has some veneer loss and cracking and some markings. *Please note the actual desk and drawer itself is NOT made of veneer, but solid wood. The underside of the drawer is the only place that has a veneer, which is never seen. less
