Description

41”D by 74”W x 29.5”H. Solid oak ambassador’s desk from the German consulate in York City, circa 1920s. Handcrafted by Werkstatten J. Dickerhoff, fine German cabinetmakers (founded in 1880, still in business). 4 drawers 30” deep. Slide out writing panel. The inner edge is actually curved. Supposedly there were only two of these made. I'd like to get somebody's opinion of the value of this. Thanks.
