Both desks are near identical in every way including the dimensions, the only difference is the inlaid figure heads on the lift up lids and sides, one is of a male and the other a female, so they could be used as "His & Hers" writing desks. The desks are in excellent condition and profusely inlaid all over incorporating various figure heads, urns and floral inlay. Circa 1910. less
