Vintage Desk & Writing Pad

One day I was reading a post about Vintage Radios, and it sparked my enthusiasm for a vintage desk I own. It was made in the late 20's and was owned by my Great Grandfather Hollydale.


A Vintage Writing Desk can have many forms and styles, but most were smaller than current models, and had time consuming hand craftsmanship that made them unique.

When you open this Vintage Desk, you find many small cubby holes, a small pull out drawer, and the original writing pad! It is hand made with leather backing and corners, and thick multi-ply writing papers as a creative surface.

It is amazing and exciting to me that I can use this exquisite piece ... just as my Great Grandfather did.

When I first brought this Vintage Desk home, it was not in very good shape. After some structural work and minor wood repairs, it is now looking fantastic. I never had much interest in antiques or Vintage Furniture in the past. Times change, and I am now in search of a matching chair. The rest of my place has an updated modern feel to it, so I think this vintage desk is the perfect accompaniment and adds a nice focal point to my sun room.
