Did you happen to find any type of markings on the back, bottom, or inside the desk to tell you who made this desk? This one is very important. I can tell you a bit about the some history on these types of desk. These desks were made from various words and also styles. Some styles included Chippendale, Victorian and French. Most of these desks were made from oak, walnut or mahogany because the wood was strong.

If the desk has any historical significance they are becoming quite valuable. There are some of these desk that sell for $500 all the way up to $30,000 or more. A lot of times you can find them at an estate sale for $200 to $400. The value of yours will depend a lot on who has made the desk and if it has any historical significance.
