We are proud to present a very rare early 1900’s Walnut Wooton’s Rotary Desk with a striking green felt top. This exceptional desk, marked “Wooton’s Rotary Desk Patented,” represents a fascinating evolution of the legendary Wooton Desk Company—renowned for their “King of Desks” designs that revolutionized office furniture in the late 19th century.
This masterpiece showcases the innovative rotating storage system that made Wooton legendary, revealing rows of striking green drawers built for beauty and organization. Reserved for the most distinguished professionals, Wooton desks symbolized innovation and prestige—and this example is an exceptional find. With its rich walnut grain, brass details, and remarkable mechanical design, it’s a true centerpiece for any office or collection.
Today, surviving examples of Wooton desks are rare, and this unique adaptation with its vibrant green drawers and pristine brass hardware showcases the best of both form and function. These remarkable pieces were even featured on Season 20 of Antiques Roadshow for their historical importance and craftsmanship. Comparable Wooton desks have been known to sell for prices exceeding $10,000.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a genuine piece of history. This Wooton’s Rotary Desk stands as a perfect example of why we continue to celebrate timeless design and masterful woodworking—treasures built to endure for generations.
