In contrast, most early American desks were pared down considerably in the interest of functionality and simplicity. Typically made of pine, cherry or maple, early American desks often were designed to include a lift-up, slanted writing surface, which concealed a storage area.
One of the most famous desks from colonial America is actually nothing more than a portable rectangular box with a locking drawer and a lift-up lid. It was upon this desk that Thomas Jefferson penned the Declaration of Independence. During the 18th century, most early homes would have had some type of writing desk designed in similar fashion for the purpose of making letter writing comfortable and convenient.Although the wealthy certainly did have large, well-appointed desks, many early Americans could not afford them. Cabinetmakers were quick to design desks that would meet the needs of consumers.
