Looking for help identifying this piece of furniture?

Ant makers marks, labels? Best bet would be an antique furniture dealer or auction house. Too many variables to determine by a photo. There are so many available and on the market. Is it a real antique or a reproduction?

I believe this is a ladies writing desk. I have a similar design and that s what was told.

Please let us know when you find out and thank you for sharing. Beautiful piece!

I have one that is kind of similar to yours. It was my great grandmothers, she passed in the sixties at a month away from 100, so mine is pretty old. I would look on the back or bottom of the desk for some kind of tag or mark that may help your search.

I thought this type of desk was known as a secretary desk , but there are probably several names for it depending on what part of the country it's from , the time period , or style .

You might find a maker or mark on the drawers, pull them out and look carefully. Beautiful desk !!!

I wish I could help, but, I just want to say what a beautiful piece of furniture this is!!

The desk is called a secretary. I believe it's from the early 1900s

Look for a maker's label or marks. Check inside drawers, inside the frame, the bottom, the back, check for secret compartments and look inside if there are any. Give it a thorough going over looking for any clues as to age, which may help you narrow down a maker as well. Are the nails hand-forged (do you see, for instance, a square iron nail head as opposed to a screw or round head stainless steel nail?) Were pegs used instead of metal fasteners? Keep in mind that during the 1950s after WWII a lot of "colonial" style furniture was mass produced by many furniture companies in quality reproductions, so your piece may not be an antique. Still fine quality, just not more than 100 years old. The style looks like Hepplewhite, simple, elegant, beautiful. The rectangular shaped legs distinguish Hepplewhite from pieces of Sheraton style. Great inlay work!

Look for a stamp and pay attention to the lettering and numbers. I had an antique wardrobe that’s from 1909, after I really looked at the stamp and said that’s not a 1, but an I. (Stamp said wardrobe no. I4) I took it as a 1 and couldn’t find anything till I made the I

If it has any copper inside it could be a humidor

The really old secretary desks do not have hinges. The pull down part was supported by wood pieces on both sides that would be pulled out to support the front piece.With the inlaid it is probably french from the early 1900"s.

A beautiful secretary desk. They are compact, close to look like a beautiful piece of furniture. Our friends had one

It is a secretary’s desk.

Some clues are in the dovetailed drawers. If they are hand cut they are usually not as perfect as those done by machine. Also, tbe back of the piece may be covered in boards instead of one piece of wood.

It is a writing desk.

It is a secretary desk. Go on Ebay and type in antique secretary desk with drawers and cubby holes. I found one similar to yours.
