I have this same desk. It is called an art noveau desk with 3 drawers on the right and one, small, one on the left. Don't lose the ink well whatever you do. It adds to the value of the whole outfit. The ball bearing in the inkwell keeps the ink from evaporating from it. There was a desk like this about a week ago on QB that was light colored wood. Mine is dark, like yours, in mahogany. I just about have it refinished. These aren't very plentiful and many people haven't seen them. Thanks QB for allowing us to see one. It is a very small desk, a cute llittle sucker. It will tuck into almost any home without hogging space. It is much, much smaller than a treadle. Hope you enjoy it.
