Most of these are mahogany…
Most of these are mahogany which will bleach out like this one if exposed to bright sunlight, such as being place in front of a window for years. Values vary, those with a provenance to a famous owner or battle being the most sought after. Most comparable desks currently sell for under $450.00 at auction, at $250-$375.
