Yellow and Black-painted Tambour Lap Desk, probably New England, early 19th century, the tambour section rolls back as the single drawer is opened, with hinged writing surface, inkwell and pen trays, yellow-painted ground with black and gilt bordering, ht. 7, wd. 12, dp. 10 1/4 in. Estimate $300-500 works well, but the tambour starts to stick at the back a bit, repaired crack at upper left side may imply that the tambour was fixed at one time. Items may have wear and tear, imperfections, or the effects of aging. Any condition statement given, as a courtesy to a client, is only an opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact.
