[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 238981, member: 25"]The lock mark is almost certainly a sign of the Royal Warrent, granted to firms that supplied the Royal household or family, and would appear on all their products. It is certainly not a sign of a royal personal owner. Nice piece and very little English furniture has a maker's mark. A drawer that you have to unscrew something to open would be intended as a secret drawer, not a pen drawer. Having the keys would enhance the value.[/QUOTE]
