The Maddox family sold this desk in the 1970's. The inside of the drawers is made of layer wood. I have not found a stamp on the desk

These tend to be late Victorian Edwardian turn of the 19th Century pieces, they are mix of several turn of the 18th century styles with a touch of Art Nouveau, the dominant style Circa 1900. Values for furniture of this type and style last peaked in the early 1990's and have declined a great since then. At auction comparable pieces now sell in the $850.00- 1400.00 range.
