<p>[QUOTE="mark737, post: 3486441, member: 14894"]There's one for sale on Etsy that appears to be the same desk and they list it as: "Sligh Chippendale Style Mahogany Leather Top Desk" and say it's from the 2000's. As for the leather, you could try re-dyeing it. I've used Fiebings dye on a couple of projects recently and had good success. If the leather has a clear coat finish, you might need to deglaze it before dyeing. You can use Fiebings deglazer or I've read that rubbing alcohol and denatured alcohol also work, and are much cheaper. As for the drawers, it sounds like they have some sort of stop mechanism. Try shining a flashlight down the sides to see what is stopping them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
