well well well, what do we have here? This rosewood desk was created from a 19th century piano forte. In the 1st half of the 19th century, piano forte were all the rage. Then when taste changed for uprights in houses of the gentry, they oftentimes, ripped out the guts and transformed them into desks. Voila, the result that makes an excellent statement desk. Snap her up before she's gone!
