I purchased this desk 30 years ago as decor for my home. It's in good cosmetic condition and in excellent working order. The seat folds up-and-down easily. The wood appears to be oak.
Victorian Cast iron desks like this are a tough sell, we used to sell them as outdoor plant stands as we couldn't come up with any other use for them ;~)they sell anywhere from $25.00- $100.00 at auction.
You could keep an eye on rubylane.com or goantiques.com , they generally have some listed their for sale. There is nearly always some on ebay as well. Right now there are 26 listed:
