Item Details

Description

This unique wood desk is not only remarkable for its extensive ornate carving but it also belonged to Mina Miller Edison's (Thomas Edison's wife) as the included photograph can attest. It descended through the family estate to her niece, Nancy Miller Arnn. It has five small drawers and an inclined writing surface lined in velvet. Through time, small bits of the ornate carvings have broken off, several pieces of which are included. The right side of the desk has a cabinet containing four larger drawers. 52-1/2" x 25-3/4" x 28-1/2".
