Above is a great example of great American craftsmanship. This Cylinder Desk is from around the middle of the 19th century. Its made from Victorian Walnut and has applied burl veneer. The guy we got it from was told it was made by Brooks Brothers, but i didn't know they made furniture? 8) Beautiful in person!

Its brother is a little younger, more likely from the late 19th or early 20th century and is in the Eastlake Style. Made of walnut and applied burl as well, it has had the embossed leather on the pull-out writing desk replaced in the last 10 years so has a new but aged look to it!


Named for Charles Lock Eastlake, the style came to fruition after the disdain for the Rococo and Renaissance Revivals of the Victorian age. It was widely popular from 1860-1890's. The usual motifs are lightly incised carvings and modest curves, the emphasis on wood grain and color is also very apparent in Eastlake furniture. A timeless classic.
