    This desk is 4' tall, 5'3 1/2" wide and 33" deep. From my last posts I'm afraid it was difficult to see the scale so I pulled my 2006 Cadillac Escelade into the garage next to it. I wish I knew more about who would have made or used an enormous desk like this and where it was made and when. It is a mystery! If anyone can add any knowledge to age or origin, I would appreciate it very much!

      Picture #3 is a bit blurry but that design dovetail was commonly used from 1790 all the way to mid and late 1800's.

      Thank you. I would guess it is pre-victorian.
