Description

Antique 19th century Aesthetic period cylinder roll top secretary writing desk. Made of maplewood featuring lower chest with three knapp joint drawers, a roll top that opens to leather pullout writing surface with multiple drawers and cubbies, upper ball and stick gallery, and brass hardware with ornate key. Made in Massachusetts by E.A. Peters, circa 1870s.

The Knapp joint was developed during the late Victoria Era in post Civil War United States. Patented by Charles Knapp of Waterloo, WI in 1867, the Knapp Joint was a huge breakthrough for the furniture industry; machines called routers made circular cuts in wood far quicker than by hand. The Knapp Joint is particularly unique to furniture as it was only used from 1870 until 1900.
