    Hi everyone,
    I am new to this forum.
    There are few peaces of furniture in my family and I became quite curious to know more about it.

    This table has been with family for some time. It belonged to my great-grandmother, who was born in 1913 and probably acquired this table at some point of her life. She has been living in Poland, Germany and Lithuania (and her husband from Russia), so I suppose it was probably made somewhere around.

    This is all I know and hope you might be able to tell more.

    Welcome to the Forum, nesvat! :)
    Might be helpful for you to show the joinings on drawer construction. Furniture folks will be along.

    Measurements would help - it looks so 'low to the ground' in the pictures!

    Not sure where you are but, here in the States, this would be called a plantation desk. Often would have cabinet on top at the back with organizing features. Likely mid to late 19th century.

    Here is the closest example I could find to yours. Not all had slant fronts. Off Pinterest so no additional information.

    Thank you all for your feedback.
    verybrad I live in Lithuania. In my language there is very little information online, so I have no idea how it would be called here :D
    The picture you sent looks very similar to what we have, thank you!
