<p>[QUOTE="João Pereira, post: 2070940, member: 14873"][ATTACH=full]249741[/ATTACH] Hi everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>So I have bought a desk I saw online that I really loved right away. Was in some storage and was gonna be thrown away. After reading a bit about how to identify the desk's age and it seems safe to say it's at least older than 1860. I based myself on the way it was put together all pins and dovetails seem to be very old and handmade. Also (not being an expert) after dropping a drop off denatured alcohol it seems the layer seem to dissolve a bit and get sticky wish according to what I read suggests it is shellac. The drawers on top unlock through a metal hidden under one of the interior shelves. Any idea who the maker or decade or style of the table? Thank you in advance. More pictures will follow.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you in advance for the help![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
