My Grandmother bought this after WWII when she was living in Charlotte, NC. She left it to my Mother when she died in 1980.
This is a nice reproduction, in the Chippendale style, Values for these desks depends a great deal on the quality of construction and how close they follow the original 18th century designs. This ones better than most, comparable examples at auction often sell for $450.00+.
