Accurate Description of Item
One Colonial Revival Style Drop Front Desk
Appraiser Remarks
Your desk is in the 'Colonial Revival Style', made during the first quarter of the 20th Century. Colonial Revival pieces are reproductions of the original American Colonial furniture first produced from 1620-1780. The Colonial Revival style became popular after the first Centennial of the American Revolution in 1876. At that time interest and demand for original Colonial & Federal furnishings was so great it outstripped supply. This caused large manufacturers to begin production of pieces in the Colonial and Federal styles from the Jacobean to Duncan Phyfe.The style reached it's peak of popularity during the mid 1920's, and again in the 1980's. Demand since then has been in decline. Values for desks like this depend a great deal on condition, examples like this one in need of some "TLC" tend to sell for less than $500.00
Estimated Value
