U wana know why that desk pictured is a GOOD piece of furniture, and how U can tell from just a photograph? Very simple really, take a look at the Ball and Claw Feet on the Desk. See how they have tension and almost look life like. Thats one of the signs of a REALLY GOOD PIECE of furniture, along with the highly figured Mahogany. Mahogany is called the King of Woods, being an expensive wood it was used on the very best furniture. I am hoping 1810 to 1840....or American Empire.
Never the less it doesn't really matter as I have been looking on and off for years for the right Desk or Library Table, and this seems to fit the bill perfectly with regards to desirabilty and cost.
