Date Period 1890's?

History Another auction find. It is a very interesting piece. Has "skeleton" keys. Ornate pulls but not sure if original? Originally had something on the top, be it a bookshelf, hutch whatever. But it was something that locked because there is a keyhole at the top. Has a pull out area on top of desk. Wondering value of it and suggestions on what to put on top. Thanks so much.
