      I also have the same desk. Is this a a Henning Jensen? Have you had it appraised? If so, what did it appraise for? Do you know value? Thanks. I'll be looking to sell mine, but don't know where to start with this piece.
      Thanks.

      Hello Clazenby, I did not have this piece appraised. Instead, I did extensive research and believe it to be a Mummenthaler & Meier piece made in Sweden, from 1950 to 1960 roughly. This company began making these desks in 1928. I found the price ranges anywhere from $800 to $4500. I did not get these prices from ebay or etsy. I chose high end vintage designer seller sites such as Chairish for pricing ideas. So with that in mind, I priced mine at $2300 for a month but finally settled on $1500 and sold it to a dear friend in a private sale. I would love to see photos of yours. By the way, the oval handles? They are hand carved.
