Reproduction Updike Rhode Island Desk and Bookcase

29. Reproduction Updike Rhode Island Desk and Bookcase


The original of this desk and bookcase, made for the Updyke family in the 1770's, is one of ten block-fronted examples crafted by members of the Townsend and Goddard families of Rhode Island. "Block-Fronting" panels with the shell are an integral part of each, and are considered to be uniquely American. The last known original remaining in private hands was sold at Christie's on June 3, 1989 for $12.1 million, a world record-breaking price. Twenty drawers and compartments line the desk and the ten separate sections in the bookcase are channeled to allow for numerous subdivisions. This case was made for the Vincent Price Collection and is no longer in production. 98 1/2"H x 43"W x 24 3/4"D.
