A rare antique Wooten Desk was for sale at a Stuart Holman auction. The Wooten Desk was designed by William S. Wooton in 1870 and quickly became popular with those of the wealthier class. It was a secretary desk or cupboard desk, typically with dozens of drawers and small nooks and crannies.
$18,700 was the final price paid for this outstanding Wooten Desk. The Wooten Desk is a most highly prized example of Victorian Furniture. No other example of furniture from the Victorian era is more highly sought after.
