Long Description
Hi, this was given to me some time ago. I have researched it a bit and know it was made by the Monitor Furniture Co and that it originally had a bookcase on top of the piece that may or may not have been optional; I have seen them without the book case refinished, etc... Also, the top locks, as do each drawer and I have the skeleton key. It has claw feet and the photos listed ar of the original piece.The top is unfinished but it would do nicely with a piece of cut marble. I am just wanting to know the aprox. value of the piece as it i right now. Cannot seem to load all the photos.
Thx. So Much!!!!

In good condition we often sell the "Drop Front desk" sections ( some never had tops) in the $425.00-$600.00 range. These are fairly modern reproductions of |Chippendale desks made in the mid 1700's.
