Antique Ornately Hand Carved Desk

This desk was given to my husband and I from his sister.  She stated that it was given to she and her husband in lieu of legal fees for work that he performed.  She knows little detail abou the desk and its orgination.  She stated at one time it was valued at over $50,000.  We are asking for a realistic ballpark value on this desk and chair.

Thank you,

Melissa
