    I played school at this desk in my elementary ages but only when my mom wasn't home because I'd get in trouble if she saw me. It has been in our family living room, which only gets used once a year, for my entire life. I'm curious to know as much about it as possible but have found very little info. I seek any information you could give. Thank You

      Looks to be very late 19th century, some additional photos should confirm.

      Add some photos of the drawer joints, back and bottom if you can.

      The side of the joint where your thumb is would show the dovetails better, but there are enough details to confirm it is late 19th century.

      The wood is walnut.
