    I bought this little table at an estate sale in an old mansion, for $50.00. Everyone passed it by, but I couldn't leave without it! I've no idea of its true origin, age or worth, only guesses. If it could only talk!!

      Not an antique-- appears to be mid 20th century at the earliest.

      Oh my! I thought the mirror top was most likely leather at one time and it was at least 100 years old!

      Could be-- some additional photos of the drawer joints and back/ bottom of the desk, may be helpful in confirming my suspicions of age OR show it is in fact an older piece.

      Having trouble loading additional pictures. The drawers are dovetailed on all sides.

      You can only load 4 photos, so deleting an image is required in order to add another.

      I just posted on your new posting.

      New pictures confirm MY suspicions about the age.
