Accurate Description of Item
One Colonial Revival Style Drop Front Desk
Appraiser Remarks
Colonial Revival pieces are reproductions of the original American Colonial items originally produced from 1620-1780. The Colonial Revival style first became popular after the first Centennial of the American Revolution in 1876, but pieces like this were made right up until World War Two. At that time interest and demand for original Colonial & Federal furnishings was so great it outstripped supply and large manufacturers to begin production of pieces in the Colonial style from the Jacobean to early Georgian periods. The style's last peak of popularity was in the 1990's and has been in decline since that time. Today comparable desks often sell for under $500.00.
