Drexel French Country Manner Desk 289-100-1 1/65

This is a great desk we inherited from my husband's grandmother. She lived in St. Louis Missouri and had an incredible eye for art and furniture. As we are making room for baby we sadly have to say goodbye to this lovely piece. We hope to find it a respectable home.

The desk is in good/exellent condition. There is some wear on the drawers and feet, as well as some on the front desk top. I would love to know an appropriate asking price for this desk. The item is located in Studio City, CA. Your knowledge and expertise is greatly appreciated.

I have included some pictures and you can check out this Shutterfly album as well. http://share.shutterfly.com/action/pictures;jsessionid=584BE29306DE09FF…

I bought this at a antique shop and just wanted to know if I got a good deal.

The pitcher is beige with the indian and the teepees and handle in deep blue

The Grant is an orginal copy of the land grant given to the Allen Brothers from the Mexican Government. The area given is around the houston area. My friend has worked for southern railroad, and they were going through some old file owned by the bussniess and found this reallly old document. If there is a chance its worth anything i can give you a more detailed description on it.

Inscription to henry B. stanton; this volume is inscribed as a token of the authors personal friendship, and of his respect for the unreserved devotion of exaulted talents to the cause of humanity and freedom.

This is only one of several teacups and saucers that I've been blessed to receive from my grandmother. Each set is different than the other. Most are numbered and most are made in England. I know that I am English in heritage several generations ago. This one is printed with the year 1789 and is the reason I chose it for this appraisal. Also this one has been hand numbered and trimmed in gold.
