    Antique Desk worth
    Can anyone tell me the worth of this antique desk? My father brought it back from Minnesota a number of years ago. Thanks

    Hi, Opsavocat!

    Does it have a chair or bench that goes with it?

    Thanks!

    No it doesn't.

    Hi again, Opsavocat!

    What would you estimate would be the age of the desk and what kind of wood is it constructed out of, please?

    Thanks!

    I have no idea on the age or type of wood. Perhaps maple and maybe 75 yrs old.

    At first glance, it appears to be made of some kind of coniferous wood. But, it might be Mahogany.

    Would it be possible for you to post an image of it with the desk cover down all the way, and maybe as an angle shot so that both the front and top are visible at the same time?

    You're probably pretty close with the age, because it has styles in construction that look very similar to American furniture of the 1920's to early 1930's.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for posting the images, Opsavocat!

    I'm going to save them and lighten them up some so that things in general are more visible.

    Thanks!
