    What a lovely piece! Im guessing 1820,and the bun feet look added to me. Is that the original bracket foot I see ? The finish looks original as well. Where is this ? It might be earlier than I thought.

    That would be known as a Bureau here.
    It looks like it has been stained, whoever did it missed the back of the compartments.

    Hinge, lock, and drawer joinery close-ups may be helpful.
    Beautiful desk!

    And I think of this as a secretary. Here's a repro of the sort.

    Would think an early to mid 19th century date to be correct. Wood is mahogany. Any signs this once had a top?

    There doesn’t appear to be any signs there was a top piece. 243A84D0-8F6C-4BE3-BDBB-A14D87A91096.jpeg
