I am looking for someone that might have an interest in trading a sailboat boat and trailer for my rare heirloom antique desk.
This desk has been in the family and handed down. My understanding is it dates back to the late 1800’s. The desk is in very good condition and appears to be walnut or fruitwood. I believe the manufacturer was the Skandia Company which began operation in Rockford, Illinois in 1888.
Cylinder Desks preceded Roll-Top desks. The wood front is solid and rotates up and around to reveal the mail slots and drawers and a pull out writing surface (ideal for use with a laptop). Inside the roll top is a slide-out writing/ lap-top shelf and several small open compartments. Large sliding drawer and two bottom drawers with cabinet. Size: 34" width, 42" height, 18" depth.
I was offered over $2,500 for the desk previously, but at that time I did not have the motivation to sell. If not interested, I fully understand.

Best regards,
