	Tambour desk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A tambour desk is a desk with desktop-based drawers and pigeonholes, in a way resembling a bit that of a bureau a gradin.
		Unlike the rolltop desk, the tambour desk uses straight, perfectly vertical rows of shutters, and the work surface rests on a few drawers, which in turn are supported by short legs instead of pedestals.
		The tambour desk is an antique form indigenous to the United States of America, and should not be confused with the British Tambour writing table.

	Rolltop desk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A rolltop desk is a 19th century reworking of the pedestal desk with, in addition, a series of stacked compartments, shelves, drawers and nooks in front of the user, much like the Bureau a gradin or the Carlton house desk.
		In that, it is a descendant in function, and partly in form, of the cylinder desk of the 18th century.
		The rolltop desk was the mainstay of the small or medium sized office at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th.

		The tambour can be repaired gluing strips of canvas onto the existing canvas backing...the same way you tried to use duct tape.
		Unfortunately, removing the duct tape now from the repair area is probably going to be a chore to keep from wrecking the canvas and to keep from leaving behind duct tape adhesive which will prevent you from a good glue job.
		The tambour will need to be removed and repaired on a flat surface.
