[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 9781865, member: 5170"]Nice condition and over 150 years old. You’d think it should be worth a substantial sum, which seems fair. Sadly, due to the propensity of younger folk for experiences over objects, which contributes heavily to the ongoing brown furniture depression, this is not the case. I’m thinking $200+- in my part of the Midwest US. There is just virtually no demand for desks, even those as beautiful as this one, because they don’t easily accommodate computer screens. Nice piece. If you can find some way to keep it, then do so. You may never see another one.[/QUOTE]
