Very good condition antique desk
62 by 29
Hi Ariel,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
This desk combines the western elements of a veneered top and short drawers fitted in the frame with Chinese elements such as the scrolled ends and tall straight legs with in-curving feet.
In the current auction market, this would likely sell for between $500 and $700, though you might find similar pieces being offered online for sale by private sellers or antiques dealers and priced closer to $1,000.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
An antique Chinoiserie inspired writing desk

Of rectangular section, the scrolled-end top with veneered panels, over a frame fitted with three short drawers with cast brass pulls, raised on tall straight square-section legs with rounded feet.
