Desk Box

Boarded desk boxes like this one were commonly fitted in the interior with partitions and sometimes drawers, for the storage of papers and writing supplies.   This example was modeled after a New England original.  The top is fitted with hand-made 'dovetail' hinges, and has a ledger at its lower edge to prevent books or papers from sliding off.
