Image Rolltop desk.JPG thumb 250px Typical rolltop desk A rolltop desk is a 19th century reworking of the pedestal desk with, in addition, a series of stacked compartments, shelves, drawers and nooks in front of the user, much like the bureau gradin or the Carlton House desk . In contrast to these the compartments and the desktop surface of a rolltop desk can be covered by means of a tambour consisting of linked wooden slats that roll or slide through slots in the raised sides of the desk. In that, it is a descendant in function, and partly in form, of the cylinder desk of the 18th century. It is a relative of the tambour desk whose slats retract horizontally rather than vertically. Image Rolltopdesksideinjpeg20031124.png thumb left 250px Unlike the cylinder desk, the rolltop desk could be mass produced rather easily since the simple wooden slats could be turned out very fast in a uniform way. In contrast, the wooden section of a cylinder had to be treated with great pains to keep its form perfectly over time, lest it warp or bend, and make it impossible to retract or extend. The wooden slats of the rolltop s tambour were usually joined together by being all attached to a cloth or leather foundation, and were thus less influenced by the problems which plagued the cylinder desk. The rolltop desk was the mainstay of the small or medium sized office at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th.

The cylinder desk is a desk that resembles a Bureau Mazarin or a writing table equipped with small stacked shelves in front of the user s main work surface, and a revolving cylinder part that comes down to hide and lock up the working papers when the desk is not in use. File Cylinder desk David Roentgen M nchner Residenz DSC07473.JPG thumb 300px Like the rolltop desk , which was invented much later, the cylinder desk usually has a fixed work surface the paperwork does not have to be stored before the desk is shut. Some designs, however, have the capacity to slide the desk surface out a few inches to expand the available work area. The cylinder desk is also called bureau Kaunitz , as it was allegedly introduced in France in the first half of the 18th century by Wenzel Anton von Kaunitz , then the ambassador of the Habsburg Habsburg Empire to the French court. Regardless of the authenticity of its origin, the French court adopted this type of desk with great enthusiasm. The difficulty of producing wooden cylinder sections which would not warp over the years ensured that such desks were reserved for the rich and the very rich. A few variants of this form have slats instead of a one piece cylinder section.

Most antique lap desks are really meant to be used on a table or some other stable surface. They are often strongly built of fine hardwoods like mahogany or walnut. Antique lap desks had hinged writing surfaces, often covered in leather, felt, or other material, that flip up to reveal storage space for papers.

A Liseuse desk is a medium sized writing table with a small hinged panel in the middle which can spring up by the aid of a mechanism or be propped up at a desired angle to facilitate reading, or writing on its slanted surface. Many have lateral panels which swing out on both sides to give a larger desk surface. The name comes from liseuse which is the feminine form of liseur in French. This is often translated as reader but it is used normally to describe a person who really likes to read, while a simple reader is called lecteur or lectrice in the feminine gender. This is one indication of who this type of desk was originally marketed to. The Liseuse is an antique desk form which was popular in France during the 18th century and produced again in the first part of the 19th century. It was copied in several continental countries and in the United Kingdom . Many Liseuses are polyvalent pieces of furniture with a double or triple use. Geared towards an 18th century feminine market for the most part, they often have drawers made specially for storing toiletry and cosmetics in addition to the drawer or drawers containing paper, quill , ink and other writing implements.

Unreferenced date February 2009 File ButlersDesk.jpg thumb left An early 19th century southern pine butler s desk from North Carolina . In England, the Butler s Desk , a piece of furniture designed for those in service to fine houses to keep documents and records, was eminently practical and based on the ever growing needs of an increasingly literacy literate group of persons in service. While the lord of the house commanded the final say in all matters, the need to delegate certain tasks to the highest ranking servant of the house necessitated a specific location where records could be kept. Following the founding of both Oxford and Cambridge , an increasingly literate aristocracy replaced the largely uneducated peerage . As the power of England grew, so did the wealth of the elite as did the need of the great house s of England to bring in a better informed class of help. This better educated servant class permitted the person so designated to acquire supplies and obtain services to maintain and run large building s with many servants. The key features of the earliest form of Butlers Desk was that it began as a high desk for use by a standing person. It had many drawers of different size and had locks on both the drop front which later developed and individual drawers the size of the drawers being governed by the size of the documents they contained. By the 1850s the Butlers Desk became far more stylistically diffuse. There were many instances where the desk of the lord of the manor was handed down to the head of the house. As the role of the butler became more oriented to a kind of overall manager and coordinator for household functions, the taller earlier desk became abandoned for a more practical piece of furniture.
