    No idea, but it looks like she's been around a while.

    Refinished and not Victorian looking, so out of my area. Would guess it to be a reproduction.

    Guesses northern & not mid-Atlantic or southern because the backboards & shelves appear to be white pine

    Agrees. A late Chippendale style desk/bookcase with cockbeaded drawers, dentil molding at the crown, and some very attractive burl, guesses mid to late 19th century.
