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:
