I think Mart may have hit the nail on the head...as this pic from her link shows...the similarities are very close...especially the busts on the corners....this desk is from the same place for sure
this desk  is Louis XV

If this was a dresser/table...then it would have a knee hole...which this does,nt..i think this is a chest of drawers...the marble top was probably made in Spain...but it does,nt mean the rest of it was,..it looks French...by its design....these dovetails look to be hand cut....i,m thinking mid to late 19th century...or to hedge my bets a 20th repo,

Getting a 20th century vibe from this.

I think youare right early 20th century,, not much shrinkage on those dovetails !!

Thanks everybody! I guess I can't quite retire on it, huh?  ;) It's definitely a conversation piece so am glad to have it regardless. Thanks again!
