<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TaraUnnie, post: 123101, member: 906&quot;]Hello Chris,</p><p>What you have is a Victorian &#039;Library Desk&#039; (sometimes known as a writing desk) and you are indeed correct, it is most likely c.1850/60 in age with an English Origin. Like most of these tables it has a tooled leather hide top in your case, dark green. It has brass castors to enable it to be portable and easily stored. The timber, which I cannot see the grain well, but I assume to be mahogany or oak or even cedar which were popular in use for furniture at this period. It is truly a beautiful piece and exhibits beautiful craftsmanship and technique. Thank you for sharing it with us.</p><p>Here is a photo example of a nearly identical piece from the 1850&#039;s from an auction house website for comparison.</p><p>Thanks again and kind regards,</p><p>Tara[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
