<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 183287, member: 37"]First is a reproduction simplified Chippendale style drop front desk or ladies secretary. Hard to tell age as these were made forever. Most likely 20s-40s. Usually mahogany but can't tell the wood from your pics. Second is commercial furniture in a quasi-mission style (so basic as not to have any identifiable style at all). Wood is oak. Probably teens though 50s. Made a lot of years without much change. Style of the lock keyhole suggests earlier in this range rather than later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
