    I have a desk I am trying to identify, possible year, make etc. There are no manufacturer markings. I do know it was used by my great grandfather in the 20-30s we think. Any help would be great.

    Circa 1910. Empire revival, sort of, with Queen Anne legs. Size? Might actually be a dressing table/vanity missing a mirror.

    Thinking the surface is too deep for a dressing table. Otherwise, agree with Verybrad. If not, the piece might be as late as the 1940s. Built like a tank, but thanks to the uninformed public, a hard sell.

    It is pretty big and very heavy. There is no evidence of anything that would have been attached. It was used as a desk.

    Good point. Really did not pay much attention to perceived depth in the photo.
