2-3/8 Desk Hinge by Horton Brasses

These hinges are designed for drop front desks and secretaries, mounted with the barrel facing up and flush with the wood surface. Crafted from solid brass, they are shown in an antique finish and come in four options. While we occasionally receive requests for hinges to be installed with the barrel down, the hinge mechanism makes this unfeasible for desks. Mounting a hinge this way on a desk would require extensive wood carving, weakening the structure. Despite the barrel being up, the hinge doesn't interfere with the writing surface.

• Usage & Mounting: Ideal for drop front desks and secretaries. Barrel-up mounting ensures flush leaves with the wood surface. Crafted from solid brass, available in four finishes
• Barrel-Down Installation: Occasionally requested, but not feasible due to hinge mechanics. Not suitable for desks due to limited folding range. Requires significant wood carving
• Hinge Placement: Despite barrel being up, hinge doesn't interfere with the writing surface of a desk
