    Does anyone have any information on this small desk? I found it in the attic of a friend I was helping clean and she gave it to me. It was made by Space-Saving Furniture Company, NYC. A DSC_6429.JPG resize 2.JPG resize 4.jpg resize 3.jpg reesize 5.jpg DSC_6429.JPG resize 2.JPG resize 4.jpg resize 3.jpg reesize 5.jpg Google search netted little. Any help with any history would be appreciated.

    Maybe searching the name Mrs. J. C. Phillips and address will yield more.

    I thought it was a gentleman’s cabinet. Those boxes would be nice for jewelry.

    Neat little piece! With that mirror and those little drawers, think this is a desk or vanity. Note that it is a bit different than the kitchen unit shown in that Popular Mechanics magazine. The finish has alligatored due to temperature extremes over the years in the attic.
