[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 9857690, member: 5170"]Hey Mr. Glum: Thanks for posting your very attractive desk. It sounds like pine is much more common in furniture of the era in Norway than it is in the U.S., where a desk like this would likely be primarily of walnut or oak. Pine would likely be secondary in furniture from either country, though evidently more common in Norway. That said, your date of 1883 seems accurate. Actually, 1880s or 90s is quite possible. Also, I believe that the drawer hardware is original. Given the evidence, I’d say that your desk originated in Norway.[/QUOTE]
