Antique Questions Forum / What is this? What is it worth?

This antique secretary/bookcase was given to me by my grandmother who about 50 yrs. ago bought it from a lady who's elderly parents died, and this was theirs.  They were in their in early 90's when they past 50 yrs ago.  All I know about it is the motif on the front of the slant front drop is inlayed with mother-of-pearl, and I believe it is mahogany.  It has like hairy paw feet and caribole legs is my best guess.  It is extremely heavy for such a smaller piece of furniture.  Anyone know what this is, and it's worth?
