    Hi, my friend bought this desk, and we know nothing about. Any information on what it is would be apperciated.

    Odd thing. Maybe a variation on a paymaster's desk. Probably last quarter of 19th century. Does look like walnut.

    I was thinking accounts desk, but paymaster is probably a better term.
    I agree, mid to late 1800s.

    I'm not seeing detail on that tall part - does it look original to the piece? I've never seen anything quite like it.
