What does this mean?

Dear Jimmy,

Thank you for your request. The presented object is a desk with the measurements of 82 x 150 x 70 cm. It has a bowed shape with two curves to each side, so that a person who sits at the table is better positioned to the table plate. On the front, it has five drawers. It is decorated in the style of Louis XVI and has carved decoration. It was made probably in the US in the second half of the 20th century.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 300 to 600 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.

With best regards,
Georg

Dear Georg , thank you for your appraisal . There are some characteristics that suggests that the desk is older than 50-60 years . Like the drawer joints and the handles ( no screws used) .
What can we look for to determine the age in this case ?

Dear Jimmy,

Please add images of the following details: drawers joints and reverse side, details of the bottom of the desk, the links between the legs and the upper part. Thank you.

With kind regards,
Georg

Dear Georg,

I have added additional photos as requested . The desk origin is definitely from Europe and it is located in United Arabia emirates .

Dear Jimmy,

Thank you for the new images. This table is still classified as period furniture. The surface of the wood shows traces of machine-driven saws and also the carved decor show details of a mechanized production. Period furniture like this is produced in every industrialized Western country and a mandatory place of production is not localizable.

With kind regards,
Georg
