Description
Writer's Desk. When closed it is a box shape. It is lockable and I do have the key. The front flips open and up to reveal two cubbies with a small center drawer on top, a slide out writing area and a full length center drawer. I am not sure if it has wood inlay or if it is a cut- in design stained in a different color. This patterned design can be found on both drawer fronts.

Re: Wilhelm Furniture Company desk
I have a very similar desk from Wilhelm Sturgis, almost identical. How much was this appraised at? Thank you.
Re: Wilhelm Furniture Company desk
This is what's called a spinet Desk, after it's resemblance to a spinet piano. Most of these date from the first quarter of the 20th century, they were mass produced items, so values remain modest for them, we retail comparable ones for under $400.00, they often sell at auction in the $50-150.00 range.
