1 1/2 inch loss of height.
Good original finish throughout exterior and lower shelves. Skinned finish and staining to interior. Some stains and scratches to top and some edge wear, nicks, and minor chips throughout. The lack of wear to the interior sides of the lower shelves suggests that this never had drawers and was likely a custom order piece. Key included.
Desk features two fixed shelves below a drop-front door concealing nine filing compartments. Carved orb and cross mark to center front of door.
