Its the style you like which is much like the precious style of Irish Chippendale. I haven't put anything in them b/c I'm sure I'd forget about them at some point. Also, not sure if you knew this but there are a few hidden drawers behind the drawers on the bottom of the little drawers (hope that makes sense) you have to pull the drawers out to get to them. I love the little drawers and compartments. I know it may not be worth much, but my husband's parents actually bought it in indonesia and had it shipped here. We actually own this desk, and I LOVE it. for both of us actually! Thanks a bunch!! For the right price or trade for the photo work would be a good deal. It would look nice in my spare bedroom, replacing a very plain desk that is back there. Yes, I know and I still think it is pretty. Sorry the way it turned out, It looks great still. I offered to do some photo and web work in exchange for it! Don't think I will pay $200 for it though. Don't think it is old, just a nice looking reproduction.
It is not very good quality upon closer inspection. I did not see any, but was sort of disappointed that it is from Indonesia. So much of the Indonesian furniture is subject to splitting wood. Thanks for the suggestion, I will check it again tomorrow.īe careful and watch for wood splits. It is in 2 pieces the top is separate from the bottom, which I did not notice first time I looked at it. I pulled out some of the drawers but was paying more attention to all the secret compartments and drawers I did not look closely at the construction of them.
It is still a pretty reproduction.Īre any of the drawers dovetailed- just cause it is from indonesia dont mean its not old just have to check it out good I had a chance to look the desk over, pulled it out in the aisle and found that it was made in Indonesia. He also has an old Victrola that he is looking for a cord, to see if it works. The market is closed today, but I am going to get a messege to the owner to put my name on it until I can get there Monday morning with some cash!! I hope I can find out more about it. I think he is getting tired of me bringing treasures home and we are running out of room. Hey Pop! I am smiling, I had already made my mind up to get it, need to convince my hubby. Oh, yeah, in case you didn't get the message, let ME know where it is.I WILL BUY IT ! If you wait, someone else will get your 'treasure', buy it then worry about the details.You like it and that should be enough, borrow the money if you have to !
