<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 147126, member: 37"]While the fold out drawer top is typical of a butler's desk, the small size keeps me from labeling it as such. As for Federal period, the lack of details on this make it hard to label it anything. I would expect dovetails on a Federal period piece. If that drawer handle on the bottom drawer is original, this would be renaissance revival at the earliest. There are a lot of dealers out there with a lot of opinions about such things. I am also one so take it for what it is worth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
