[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 1841196, member: 5066"]And you & dealer are located in USA? Europe? Indonesia? Guesses 19th century miniature/childs desk, the hinges do not appear to be hand forged so doubt it's period. The brass seems stamped but if not original doesn't help. The dovetails are large & wide so guesses not english & more likely germanic, either here (usa) or europe. It's to bad you stripped it all the way down to bare wood, as it's pine it likely had original paint underneath. It would have been nice to save that if possible.[/QUOTE]
