Description
This has been in our family for at least one century. The cabinets open and there is a pull out platform so it can be used as a desk. Crazy awesome detail in the legs, warping and chipped paint on the top.

I’m not finding this same one but what I believe it to be is a Spanish Vargueño desk, a wooden cabinet with marquetry and inlaid ornaments that has many small drawers, compartments and shelves for storing papers and objects.

THANK YOU!
Re: Antique Armoire/Desk
Most of these date from before World War Two, mid 1920's through 1939. These desks tend to be a mix of antique styles such as Gothic and Jacobean Revival with a Art Deco style spin on it. Sadly demand for desks like this is currently very modest, a result of the Baby Boom generation downsizing. Currently comparable desks sell at auction for under $150.00
