I really don't know much at all about this desk except that it appears really old. I am hoping that someone ca help me date it and tell me approximately what it is worth. I got it out of a storage unit that I purchased.

I have a plate which I believe to be by Wallis Gimson & Co. Part of the maker's mark appears to be missing, so I'm not 100% sure. The plate is heavily crazed and has an approx. 1.5" crack. I have not been able to find this plate elsewhere, although I have found other plates/patterns by Wallis Gimson that have the Bloom pattern marking. Does the maker's mark defect add to or detract from the plate's value? What would your overall approximation of value be?
