Antique Writing Desk

By d43, 27 December, 2019
Description

This is my great-great-grandmother's writing desk, which was likely purchased in Ohio in the early 1900's or late 1800's. My mother painted the desk green in the 1980's. No identifying marks of manufacturing that I can find. I have the original key, but pictures show a replacement key.

Anyone know if the desk holds any value?

Happy to upload more pictures if wanted.

Re: Antique Writing Desk

It dates from the second quarter of the 20th century, before WW2. Not much value in it's present condition in the current market. Comparable pieces often sell for under $100.00
