Stepped top having three letter compartments with a large single lower front drawer set within a box apron frame on elegantly turned Birdseye Maple legs terminating to peg tapered feet set on spheres. This is a rare important American 19th century desk in original condition having a glorious amber patina with wonderful glowing color. Some fading to the writing platform, openings in the wood grain in areas of the top shelf, worn through in small areas. Handmade in Vermont having a very individual style influenced from American Shaker while being of the time period but not conforming to traditional Shaker simple and utilitarian style. Structurally sound, strong and sturdy for practical everyday use. In good overall antique condition having signs of use and wear commiserate with age. Attribution / H. (Horace) Stowell & Son (Alonzo Stowell) Cabinet makers Londonderry, Vermont middle 19th Century. H.
