This appears to be a desk purchased while the owner was traveling to the orient. I know little else about this piece except for the condition. Upon close inspection I fould no evidence of damage, no nicks, no water marks, nothing. This item appears to be in almst like new condition. I'm really just looking to get an idea of the value of this piece. In the same household in an oriental rug ($42,000) and an oriental cucu clock that I was told was purchased for $13000.
