Re: Solid Ash Powder Table by Davis Cabinet company
Looking online I’m seeing furniture with that label as 1940’s through early 50’s. I’ve not yet found anything to confirm this is accurate, will keep looking.
Q: How do I determine the age of a Davis piece?
A: It is common practice at Davis Cabinet to stamp or mark individual pieces with the month and year of manufacture. However, the method has varied over the decades. Dates are most often on the inside casing of a piece. But, sometimes they are in other places, or not there at all.
If the piece has drawers, take the top drawer completely out and set it on the floor. Look on the inside of the case itself. Use a flashlight if necessary. A four-digit number may be visible. If you cannot find a date there, look on the back side of the piece.
02 65 means the item was made
in February of 1965
Sometimes the date is reversed.
65 02 also means February of 1965. (From their website)

Your’s looks like it’s been refinished. This desk https://www.ebay.com/itm/224166552874?hash=item34315e252a:g:jsAAAOSwpHx… is also listed as having the Patina Blanc finish and it’s quite different. It’s also the closest I can find to yours so you might want to follow it and see if it sells and if it gets the asking price. My guess of value is around $100 - $150.
