Family Desk History Mystery?

An ornately carved wooden desk.Trying to get some information regarding this desk. It belongs to my 82 year old mother. It has been in her family as far back as she can remember. We are curious about age, where it was made, style, even the wood used, etc.

This is the Welsh Dragon Carved Gothic Oak Bureau Desk.
Your bureau has a distinctive Welsh pattern: Welsh Dragons and fan paterae.
For example like this Antique Vintage Carved Solid Oak Welsh Dragon Bureau www.picclickimg.com/.../Antique-Vintage-Carved-Solid-Oak...
Another Welsh Dragon Carved Gothic Oak Bureau Desk dated 1905 www.sellingantiques.co.uk/.../
Example of fan paterae you can see on the 19th Century Welsh Folk Art Slate Bureau Miniature www.antiques-atlas.com/.../as1019a022

I think your Welsh Dragon Carved Bureau Desk is made of oak, but I'm not sure as it is difficult to determine exactly from the photos.

About age.
I think this is from the early 20th Century.

About price.
The price of Carved Oak Welsh Dragon Bureau Writing Desk Cabinet was £ 139 picclick.co.uk/Antique-Vintage-Carved-Solid-Oak...
The price of Antique Carved Oak Writing Bureau is EUR 847 www.pamono.eu/antique-carved-oak-writing-bureau
The price depends on where you will be selling your Bureau Desk.

This is definitely not a traditional English or American desk. I think it is French or Italian.

That is a beautiful piece of furniture. It looks like it is hand carved. Look to see if any where it has a signature or a stamp. A good place to look is on the bottom, sorry to say you will have to tip the piece over to see.

It is amazing that it still has all the hardware. And does it have the keys to all the drawers ?? I would definitely have an antique dealer have a look at it .
