<p>[QUOTE="Mill Cove Treasures, post: 26003, member: 60"]1. I think the bureau would be considered empire style, is that correct? How old do you think it is? What caused the finish to get so crackly?</p><p><br /></p><p>2. The desk has a partial label that reads Wabash. I could not find a similar desk in my searches. The center slides open like a roll top desk but sideways. What style is this? Does this type of desk have a specific name? Age?
