Dragonfly’s Favorites: My "Antique" Desk
Truth is, I don’t know it’s story. My folks bought a furnished condo in Arizona a few years ago and this desk was a part of the package. When they sold the house, furnished again, they did save the desk for me and drove it to my home here in Colorado. Aren’t they sweet?
I wasn’t sure that I liked it at first, but it seems to be perfectly at home here.
Detail of front panel, I think it has some details that look handmade. Irregular tooling, uneven lines. I like that about it.
All of the drawers have dovetail joints. This is the inside of one of the drawers with the roman numeral seven hacked into it.
The inside of the drawer opening has the corresponding number.
My dad is convinced that the desk is junk. It might just be. I don’t know anything about old furniture or how to tell “good” furniture from “bad”, like music, I like what I like.
