This George III style tambour top desk is one of six matching banker’s desks from Drexel & Co., purchased from 1838 Investments in 2005. 1838 Investments Advisors closed in 2005, but its history has intimate links with the Drexel bank since its founding by Francis Martin Drexel, the father of Anthony J. Drexel.
