Hello, was hoping someone might be able to tell me more info about a refurbished vanity/desk? Not looking for valuation, don't believe it's of any particular worth or a special piece, just would like to know what style and period it might be described as. Has 7 drawers, rounded face front, fluted legs with carving details. Original hardware.
Also curious about what the carvings at top of legs would be described as (resembles a ribbon sash to me, but I'm sure that's not the right term). Label in drawer says genuine mahogany; exterior has obviously been refinished. Framed chalkboard and bench are separate pieces; did not come with desk.
Would also appreciate any good book recommendations for identifying basic but proper furniture style terms, periods, etc. in the future - there's thousands of the sort on Amazon, so i don't know where to start. Thanks!
