[QUOTE="Marricked, post: 2065070, member: 14865"]Good afternoon everyone, I am hoping someone might be able to assist in identifying a desk I have got. I can't find any manufacturers marks on it anywhere. I am hoping to find out how old it is roughly, what it would be called and potentially who manufactured it. And possibly what it could be worth for insurance purposes. The story behind it is I have inherited it from my great grandmother. During one of the world wars she worked as a cleaner for a rich family in the North East of England. The family moved out the area and they gifted this desk to my great grandmother telling her it was valuable. I have no further information unfortunately. It is in pristine condition and has been kept in a room out of sunlight (apart from to take these photos!). Unfortunately the photos aren't the greatest as my Dad who is not the best with technology took them and I can't take any myself due to the lockdown. But hopefully they are sufficient to be able to get a good look at the table. It still has the original key. Thanks in advance for any help![ATTACH=full]249566[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]249567[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]249568[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]249569[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]249570[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]249571[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]249572[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]249573[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
