WE HAVE FROM A NEW ORLEANS, La. ESTATE THIS PERIOD REVOLTIONARY WAR AMERICAN CHIPPENDALE CHERRY & MAHOGANY SLANT LID DESK. THIS IS PERIOD LATE 18TH CENTURY AMERICANA THAT EVERYBODY WHO LOVES EARLY AMERICANA SHOULD HAVE. THE CONDITION IS IN GOOD TO VG WITH NO APPARENT DINGS OR DENTS INTO THE FURNITURE.
