<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mavota, post: 7279126, member: 79877&quot;]Hello everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>My parents are clearing some stuff out of their house in preparation for some building work.&nbsp; Some of it is going into store while other items are going to be burnt.&nbsp; I took these photos basically before my mum took a sledgehammer to the piece.&nbsp; I asked her to give me a bit of time to at least check if it might be worth anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>The item is a writing desk (I believe) which has been in our family for 100+ years.&nbsp; I would guess it is roughly 1.20m tall, 0.75m square at the top (sorry, I didn’t measure).&nbsp; It has a secret compartment at the top, and a pull-out writing pad which can be propped up for reading.&nbsp; There are drawers on one side and false drawers on the other.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, that carpet you can see in some of the photos is also going to the bonfire.&nbsp; I’m pretty sure it is 150+ years old and came from the drawing room of quite a grand house.&nbsp; My mum assures me it isn’t worth anything.&nbsp; Any thoughts?</p><p><br /></p><p>We’re in the UK.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards,</p><p>Mavota</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]422233[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]422235[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]422236[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]422237[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
