Desk and Bookcase ca. 1811 American This H-shaped desk and bookcase may be the most unusual example of high-style furniture produced in the Federal period.

The decorative details are characteristic of fine Baltimore furniture. The double-line inlay spiraling down the turned legs can be found on at least one other piece of Baltimore furniture. The inscription refers to the date when Roswell Lyman Colt married Margaret Oliver, one of the four daughters of Robert Oliver, a millionaire merchant of Baltimore.. Desk and Bookcase 3152
