Abner Cutler Patented Roll Top Desk The first American patent for a roll top desk was granted to Abner Cutler
in 1850. He became a premier maker of Roll top desks and other furniture and
his company hailed fro Buffalo NY. Examples of his roll tops have been known
to top 12,000 and this one is well fitted and in nice condition. This company
was still in business up into the teens of the 20th century and I Believe this one
dates from near the turn of the century.
I believe this one is made of Walnut. The design for the slats was different from the norm and they are more like half rounds than the traditional slats found on later desks. I believe this was referred to as a slat front and it unusual in that respect. The interior is original, and the sides of the drawers are marked with the proper name and date. It is also marked on the accessory ink well / pen holder as can be seen in one of the pics. The dates on it and the draw are for later improvements he made to the design. Note the many cubby holes in the top portion. The little doors slide back and forth to reveal the openings. The drawers are full depth and work well. A classic piece of American Office design waiting for a new home.

Store Oak File Cabinet This one is a double decker. The base
is 36" across and 26" deep. It is 38" tall. The upper is 36" across and 37"
tall. The top is a series of file drawers. The base has
two upper doors and 4 lower drawers. It is in very nice condition. The
trim on the base and upper match and I do not think it is a marriage. In person
there is not nearly the color difference that shows in the pic to the left.
