The roll top desk is actually a reworking of a previous desk known as a "pedestal desk." Other desks that feature these wooden slats are the cylinder desk and the tambour desk, though with the tambour desk, the slats are pushed horizontally instead of vertically.
Roll top desks quickly became very popular because they could be produced rapidly. The decline of the roll top desk matched the growing level of business correspondence as the growing correspondence levels created the need for larger storage systems and the smaller compartments of the roll top desks became obsolete.
These days the roll top desk is very popular among antique hunters. The desk was produced in such large numbers that finding an authentic roll top desk isn't very difficult. Many people, especially those who love authentic wooden furniture, have at least one roll top desk in their homes.
The Timeless Popularity of the Roll Top Desk
The roll top desk made its debut in the 19th century, as an updated version of the classic pedestal style desk. The biggest advantage to the roll top style was neatness; simply roll down the cover, and all of your papers and writing supplies were out of sight. Despite the broad appeal of the roll top desk during this era, the pieces eventually decreased in demand. The roll top desk was eventually replaced with sleeker, more efficient designs that lacked the traditional style of these large office mainstays.
The roll top desk is still a hot commodity on the antique circuit today. For example, some of the newer roll top desks offer space for a computer monitor and a hidden keyboard shelf. Despite the advances in the roll top desk that make room for modern technology, the charm of these large office pieces is still very much present. If you are on the hunt for new furnishings for your home office, consider a classic roll top desk.
