Victorian "Extra Grade" Wooten Desk
Fabulous "Extra Grade" Renaissance Revival walnut Victorian Wooten desk. Standard grade Wooten desks occasionally appear on the market but we seldom see the more elaborate extra grade desks. This piece was passed down from one generation to the next in the Wallace family of Jamestown, PA. There is an original silver presentation plaque above the roll. They moved to Florida and recently decided to sell this wonderful piece. We obtained it in untouched condition. The finish was very dry and flaked. We had it professionally polished with hand rubbed shellac. Most Wooten desks on the market today have been extensively restored and refinished. This one retains it's original rich patina and has never been stripped. All of the fancy cast brass hardware is original. The letter slots in front have the following mottos: "Manufactured by the Wooten Desk Co, Indianapolis, Ind, Pat. Oct. 6. 1874" and "Letters" (see photos). The desk is decorated by extensive carvings and raised burled panels with black and gold high lights. The lid of the desk and interior drawers have birds eye maple fronts. It has the original card board files on the right side with brass ring pulls. We had a gold tooled leather writing surface installed. The back of the desk is finished. It rests on large metal castors. The right side drops a minute amount when the desk is open so it has to be lifted in order to close the desk. This is the desk for the serious collector - in excellent original condition with wonderful provenance!Circa: 1875Dimensions: 75"H x 42.5"W (closed) x 32"D (base)Finish: Excellent polished originalPrice: $69,500.00

Rare Secretary by H. H. Wiggers
Rare walnut Victorian secretary signed "Pat Feb 6, (18)77 H.H. Wiggers, Kearney & Wiggers Manufacturers, Cin'ti, O." This desk is in all original condition. It has two raised burled panels with a round signature brass medallion beneath the double step gallery. The two sides of the desk swing open with double brass hinges on either side and metal rods that mechanically pull the writing surface out when the desk is opened. The interior of the desk has four drawers in the middle and cubbies on the sides. The drawer fronts and tops of the cubbies are beautifully appointed with birdseye maple fronts. The desk has the original maroon fabric on the writing surface. The fabric is stained and could easily be replaced with a piece of leather. On such an original historically important piece we elected to keep it original and let the buyer decide on this. The desk sits on four columns with clover leaf cutouts in the base. It has a finished back. The following information was obtained from the Smithsonian Institute. "On 6 February 1877, Henry H. Wiggers of Cincinnati patented another variety of the Wooton-type desk. The patent specification for this desk or secre- tary stipulated that it was provided with a pair of hinged covers coupled to a sliding member in such a manner that the advancement of said slide causes the cornered style of the Fallows desk (illustrated in "Wisconsin Magazine of History" Vol. 35, No. 4 [Summer, 1952, p. 276), which is labeled "Moore's cabinet desk, Indianapolis, Indiana, Patented Jan. 8, 1878. (This desk) patented by Henry H. Wiggers of Cincinnati, Ohio, 6 February 1877, now in the Heinz House, Greenfield Village, Dearborn, Michigan. was listed as the Wooton Desk Manufacturing Com- pany." In fact, the 1870-1885 period was a most dynamic period in American furniture design. Moore, Wooten, Wiggins and others inundated the US Patent office with a number of innovative and interesting designs. We have never had this particular desk before. We believe it to be an important example of Victorian furniture design. Circa: 1877 Dimensions: 58"H x 33.5"W (closed) x 23"D Finish: Fair to Good original untouched condition Price: $4950.00
