[QUOTE="Nvntivs, post: 379276, member: 7975"]Good evening everyone. I would like to ask for help with identification on an antique English desk. Since these desks were made for several centuries with more or less the same look I just don’t trust my own estimate and would like to ask for more opinions. The desk is made of three parts and seems to have its original, signed locks. It seems, that it was already repaired a couple of times. But the wheels seem to be original too. What I am not sure of is if there is veneer on some fronts or not. The drawers and the top seem to be solid, but if you look at the last picture, the bottom looks veneered? Or is it just some rather unusual chipping? I made several pictures and hope these will be of sufficient help. If someone would like to have more or supersized pictures - just ask. Looking forward to your replies and thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]
