    Hi,
    First post. This desk came with project and I'm trying to figure out what it is and if it's of any value.

    It has a tag on the inside of the drawer with the name Tozer, 25 Brook St, London.
    My quick research shows this property is now a museum, and Charles Tozer had a high end shop there from 1910 to the 1960’s. This building is famous for being Jimmy Hendrix residence for a time.

    Any insight is greatly appreciated!

    1910 to 1975 are the firm's dates. Are those faux leather book spines? If so, what are (some of) the titles?

    The gadrooning looks like 1940s traditional, while the piece appears to have that hideous "pickled" refinish from the 1980s.

    The desk does look as if it had drawers or at least doors over those open spaces. After these alterations I'd say that the piece is basically just used furniture. If you can get $100 U.S. out of it then I'd call it good.
