    Is it American?
    What time period?
    Any more information? I love this piece and would love to have the story behind it.

    *Carved with Griffins, Artist Palette, and Compass Tool.
    *English Dovetail (3 tails)
    *Original Drawer Locks, half mortise with stamp of an anchor emblem with *HD initials and "Paris" written above (you can see the stamp just barely if you zoom on the lock picture)
    *Drawers curved on the bottom (see drawer pic above)
    *Bottom left drawer has locked compartment in the back. Basically the drawer is the length of the desk and has a false end (that is the drawer in the picture above to see how the mechanics word).
    *Top of Desk & Inside of drawers have wood veneer
    the bottom part of the drawer slides in and is curved underneath
    pulls not original, there is a keyhole where the pulls are inserted
    *Underneath desk can see panels of a red wood that is very porous with numerous knots
