Rolltop desk still bank late 19th-early 20th century

This miniature rolltop desk, created by an anonymous artist in the late 19th to early 20th century, is a charming example of folk art. The desk features intricate, hand-painted floral designs in black and brown, adding a decorative touch to the simple wooden structure. The small size suggests it was intended for a dollhouse or as a decorative piece, showcasing the skill and artistry of the unknown creator. This miniature piece, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offers a glimpse into the craftsmanship and domestic life of the era.
