Accurate Description of Item
One Federal Revival Style Mahogany Desk
Appraiser Remarks
Based on what I can see what you have is a good reproduction of a an American Federal style desk, the type today being generally referred to as "Federal Revival" in North America. The Federal Revival style first became popular on the run up to the Centennial of the American War of Independence in 1876, the demand for original early American pieces exceeding supply furniture makers of the period began producing reproductions.
John Stuart was a high-end retail showroom in Grand Rapids and New York that sold quality products made by, but unlabeled by, a number of manufacturers in Grand Rapids. Furniture of this type was made right through the 1940's and some is now old enough to be considered Antique by the passage of time.
