Marylebone Antiques has dated this piece to the 1910s.
I would date it to around the 1890-1910 period. It's burr walnut, figured walnut & solid walnut, plus it has the original brass handles. There is a shaped tooled leather writing surface & there are pull out leather topped slides on either side. The top section has convexed ends all the way around, including the drawers. It has beautifully shaped burr walnut panels on the outside & inside the pedestal. All the edges are curved & it sits on ogee bracket feet. There are drawers to the front, plus a single drawer on the top section of the back & cupboards below, with shelves inside. The burr walnut is really tight & the drawers are finely dovetailed. This desk also has a lovely original colour & comes apart into three sections. I don't think it's quite sitting together perfectly in the images, which is why you may spot the odd slight gap where the top sits on the pedestals. In fact I can see it's not lined up straight. This desk has just been restored & polished, with locks & keys, so it's in good condition.
