roll-top desk
Tambour-covered writing surface
A roll-top desk is a writing desk with a flexible cover made of wooden slats that rolls up and back to reveal the workspace and pigeonholes inside: He closed the roll-top desk and locked it before leaving.
The design, popular in the late 19th century, allows the desk to be secured without clearing the surface.
