[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 2067389, member: 5066"]Hmmm, I dunno about this desk but, here in the USA desks of any era have taken a MASSIVE hit in prices. Not sure why that is exactly but suspect their loss of original function & failure to find a new function niche in the modern world. Add in they take up a lot of space, are heavy and BOOM, 18th-century slant top desks that were going for 5k and up 25 years ago are selling for a song at auction today.[/QUOTE]
