What appears to be..a small (child's size) writing desk-vanity combination (mirror missing ) ? Edwardian-Empire transitional or modified 1/2 kneehole regency with leather gold-leafed embossed recessed partial surface... may be mahogany surface but has secondary woods (yellow pine?)....?????? So light.....?? single dove-tailed joints joined...

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

Possibly late 1930's, that is the time when the top back drawers were popular and into the 1940's.

Thanks Phil, I too believe circa 1925-1935.What confuses me is the way it's constructed (large single split dove-tailed), and the weight-It's like doll furniture.

Yes, that I cannot comment about without dimensions, or a photo that shows it next to something to put it in proportionate size.
