You gave a good close shot of the dovetails, so I was able to measure & appears to be machine dovetails. That makes it post 1890's. The front writing desk seems to fold up to 90 degrees instead of an angle like a secretary. Doesn't really appear to be factory. I'm going to say 1900-1920. Interesting piece because of the angle of the writing piece.
