Abner Cutler & Son were cabinetmakers in Buffalo, New York who started production in the late 1820s. The firm specialised in rolltop desks and by the 1850s had been granted seven patents related to the desk's mechanism. The company was known as 'Cutler & Son' by the 1870s and exhibited at the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition. This is a rare survivor and a beautiful piece of engineering in its own right. Circa 1880.
