Alma Desk Company LARGE Triple Burl Top Antique Writing Vintage Mid-Century Exc

Description: Alma Desk CompanyLARGEOne of a Kind, UniqueTriple Burl Top Triptych Writing DeskVintage / Mid-Century / Antique Local pick-up an option, of course. This is from our personal collection. 72 inches wide by 36 inches deep... that's 18 sq feet of writing space. Sits 30 inches high. I recommend doing an Alma Desk search to learn more about these hand-crafted pieces. This one is particularly RARE. These were designed for authors... like Stephen King or JK Rowling to sit at with surface space to stack piles of notes. Has one drawer, centered. 29" wide by 21" deep. Holding depth is about 2 1/2 to 3 inches. Contains a removable pencil tray. I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what kinds of wood are used in this; no stamps indicating model number, etc. just the Alma plaque inside the drawer. This really is a great piece, but with 4 kids in the mix and needing the bedrooms... we have to let it go. Trying to get the rich colors and grains captured with a cell phone camera, is a bit of a challenge.I can email more pics as well... including close-ups of the few dings/scratches there are. Not sure what kind of wood. After some research, I believe.... that this is Mahogany on Walnut with Elm Burl inlays. It's hard to find big burls to cut like this though. While this can be picked up by two people, it IS heavy. Hence the flat rate shipping / freight for within continental US. This will likely go through UPS (yes... they do that sort of thing). If you opt for your own carrier or pickup directly from our estate, the shipping / freight is waived, of course. If you are outside the continental U.S., we will have to figure out other arrangements. Desk is currently disassembled (the legs are off - very easy to re-attach, etc.) and wrapped, awaiting crating and transport. It is one, solid top, so crated item will likely be in the 80 x 40 x 15 inches range... like shipping a giant, framed art piece, except a lot heavier. our standard listing blurb:Please see pics as they are part of the description. Comes from a smoke free environment. Check out our other toy & miscellaneous listings. All items sold as is. Please research items before purchase. PLEASE NOTE: We are offering various shipping options to pick from. The USPS has been impacted by a lack of commercial flights to transport shipments. First class can now take upwards of 7 - 10 days, although we have had consistent success with items arriving very quickly to buyers. Also, tracking of first class is a courtesy, not a requirement, of USPS. It is not uncommon for first class items to not get scanned. As they put it - "priority is always the priority." My wife and I always work to get shipments out within a day. As my family works primarily with collectibles, the above may not be an issue as collectors collect when the collectible becomes available, and not so much because of specific holidays. Thank you for your understanding and patience. If you are trying to get items to you before a specific holiday or special event, whether first class or priority, please let us know and we can inform you of the current postal trends/statuses.
