The chair is a Lyre back. The desk is a drop side. Some call it a drop leaf. The style is Duncan Phyfe. the chair has nice Detailing.this type of furniture was popular in the 1920's.

But this appears to be late 1940's or early 1950's. $ 350.00 Dollars

Agree as well.

The writing/ink pad looks well loved but still in good shape!
