Accurate Description of Item
One Mid 20th Century Drop Front Desk by Drexel, marked "470-547-6, SANDIA, BY DREXEL" on the back.
Appraiser Remarks
If it's marked "Drexel" and not "Drexel Heritage", it predates the early 1970's when the two companies were merged into one. Based on what we can see in the images provided this one is a mid 1960's example and appears to be constructed of oak. Like many pieces made during this period they tend to be a mix of styles, this one marrying the form of a Govenor Winthrop dropfront desk with the early English Jacobean style. Values tend to be modest for Drexel Furniture in general, with desk like this one selling for under $600.00
