Desks
Many different types of desks are made available by Stephen H. Smith.
Period style slant lid desks are made with a range of different options including the type of feet, the style of the interior, and the type of wood that the case is made from. Perhaps the most elaborate desk made by Mr. Smith to date is a tiger maple example with an ampi-theater interior, and having numerous secret compartments. Also available are custom computer work stations designed to help integrate the home office with fine period décor. To add to these choices, Mr. Smith also makes simple writing tables built to suit your needs.
