Description I'm not quite sure what this desk is, whether it be a Spanish desk or just some art deco. But it seems to be older in design. I dont see any markings on desk, not that I've looked at every nook and cranny. But would be thankful to whoever can lead me in a direction.

Spanish Revival desks like this first came popular just before World War One, popularity peaking during the mid 1920's.The style has had more recent revivals, but without physically examining this set it's impossible to determine it's exact vintage. That said, this appears to be a very good quality example.
