Antique Desk, British, 1800s

By dagny0823, 30 April, 2013
Description

I used this desk as a child, although I don't think it was actually intended as a "child's desk" per se---people were just smaller in the past.  I bump my knees on it now. 

My parents purchased it in Yorkshire England in the 1970s.   I don't know anything about, but it's in nice shape except for one of the wheels on the feet fell off during a move.  I haven't been able to find an appropriate fastener to reattach it, so I currently have it on with a modern screw which can easily be removed.   

 

Very nice carving on the legs and around the opening where you would put your chair.

 

Pardon the cat in the picture--every time I get the camera to take a picture of this piece, he hops up

From the look of it,  it dates to the late 1830's and a nice piece at that, we'd retail one like this in the $800.00- 1200.00 range.

Thanks for the info!  It's much appreciated.   It certainly helps to have some frame of reference when preparing to sell.
