Dear Teri,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be gambling desk with the measurements of 32” wide, 29” tall. This desk was made as period furniture in the late 19th or early 20th century. It is decorated in the manner or the Louis-Seize style and was probably made in France or Italy. Under the bottom, we see a label which is an inventory paper label of a former owner which was noble.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 700 to 1400 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With kind regards,
Georg
