OK, so the horns seem to back your Heavy Metal theory, fine! :) But no, really, the face is pretty much standard for this type of decoration...
Beautiful, indeed, but has the bureau parted company with the bookcase (and its back, for that matter)? Look for serpentine or bow front, a this...
I don't see it as heavy metal--hard rock maybe. It's rather nice, though. Pre-war certainly, but I don't know about the maker.
Old yes, but not terribly valuable or sought after. This was made during the art nouveau era, but in a style 50 years earlier. If you like it...
Of French inspiration, if not necessarily make, early to mid 20th century, well made in good shape (alas, questionable taste). Neoclassical could...
Could be an incomplete G. If a U and American, maybe United Rsomething. They are very, very nice, though.
Turn of the century (late Victorian to 1920s at the latest)

As the Antiquary said to Lovel, "the dust was very ancient" :happy: I would say soapy warm water and soft brush should be enough. I don't see rust...
If the friend means stenciled, then chiseled, let him have it, but they are hand carved all right. Not top work, but very pleasant. Accent part...
It screams colonial baroque, but I think it could as well be Asian. Or Central America. Crude is easier to, uh, emulate, so it could 100 yo...
It seems clear an Argentine child played under it (Campeon may translate literally as champion, but it in this context it might just mean Go...
If it was indeed a drafting table, maybe those protruding brackets held the nose that holds the top in place when it's tilted and has a pencil...
I certainly wouldn't call it rare, but I'd take unusual. The configuration of those drawers is not meant to be as it appears in the picture. The...
It looks Victorian to me. Might be marked on the inside of the square part of the legs or the underside of the frame if by any important maker....
