The leather is way later, 1970s or so. Drawers have been either given new carcasses or are replacements for some reason. And actually, I think it had pigeon holes, no drawers at all, which is also far more right. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hinges are fine for Edwardian. Someone did a gloopy toffee apple French polish in part. The&nbsp; &quot;ormolu&quot; on the feet has been added. I think the gallery has as well. I&#039;d remove the drawers, get better leather on it, take the gallery and leg irons off. You&#039;d end up with a nice little Ewardian desk bureau.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
