Antique Questions Forum / Re: Antique Monterey Ornate Desk???

So I just found it here... But someone had done a stress paint type of method that took away from the original it seems :\, I'm not sure the worth but this auction has a range... Not sure if that's accurate.

If you notice on the first couple of pics that I last posted, when the doors shut, there is a quick release button latch that presses in to lock the door in place.

Not sure who antiqued it, but we weren't dure to have it striped or not, what year do you think it's from? And would it be of value by chance?

Here are a few pictures of what I thought to be a monterey desk, when you open it up, the bottom tray slides out to form a sort of desk.

Any ideas would be great.

My apologies I did get this piece mixed up with another that was from an estate sale... She did pick this up at an antique store... She had paid $700 for it at the time.

She was pretty knowledgeable but not very... Yes I'm in California and have lived her my whole life... I have another piece that is wrapped up in plastic that I will post up a little later of a very old Monterey Cabinet that's pretty ornate

So I found out from my grand mother, her 'mother' had it when she was a child and that would have been around 1910... I'm still not sure of the style of this but this is some more info that I can share.

Thank you Mart, I appreciate the help... From what my mom had told me before is when she bought it from an antique shop over 15 years ago, it was noted to of been an 18th to 19th century piece.

Mart,

I'm not sure if you can tell if these are clear enough to tell.

Hello all,

My mom has had this piece for 45 years and was passed on from her grandmother down to her, so she's had it for quite sometime. She told me the disc in the base is supposed to be ceramic but I'm not sure of the ERA, the condition isn't in the best but has made it through most of the years.
