<p>[QUOTE="Pat Dennis, post: 2355440, member: 15280"]I agree with Ghopper1924 as the desk being earlier. It appears to be an English Regency pedestal mahogany desk with satinwood inlay. Google English Regency Desk and you will see several. Clues to age: fine drawer dovetails with vertical scribe mark, drawer fronts are solid mahogany and not veneer, drawer bottoms make of one piece and appear to be beveled, drawer sides are also mahogany and not oak which would date late Victorian to Edwardian, etc. Could be 1860s or earlier with the drawer construction. A period furniture appraiser would take out a drawer first thing. For those who want to know more about dating using drawer construction <a href="https://www.sapfm.org/forum/index.php?topic=2256.0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.sapfm.org/forum/index.php?topic=2256.0" rel="nofollow">https://www.sapfm.org/forum/index.php?topic=2256.0</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
