Spinet desks are of two types, factory made pieces dating from the 1920's through 40's , or conversions made from Victorian Square case pianos. Based on your images this piece is of the first type, factory made. The original Spinet desks were actually originally Circa 1840 piano's, converted into desks during the 1920's through the 1940's when their internal works were beyond repair, their rosewood and mahogany veneered cases and square design being seen as "Old fashioned", but thought too valuable to throw out. In the current maket values for the factory made Spinet desks remains modest, with most retailing for under $600.00.
