Accurate Description of Item
One Empire Revival Style Side by Side Secretary Desk and Curio Cabinet
Appraiser Remarks
These cabinet desk combo's date from the turn of the 19th century and were a hot item during the Victorian furniture craze of the 1980's to early 90's. They were a mass produced item with most North American furniture companies makIng similar pieces, without a label it's impossible to determine a maker.
Values for them today though have declined a great deal. Pieces in need of repair and refinishing often sell at auction for less than $150.00, as the cost of having them restored professionally is not cheap. We sell similar pieces in good or restored condtion for about $500.00- $800.00 these days.
