a desk that is about 400 years old and has a nice oak

Hello Bruce,
Thank you for your query but I am not a furniture expert I am afraid. My field is antique needlework tools, hallmarks on silver and gold.
Please resubmit your question to someone who deals in furniture. When you do this, be specific about condition and a photo is always much appreciated as the Expert can 'see' what you have and be more accurate in their reply.
Good luck.
Regards,
Irene

Expertise
I have been a collector of antique sewing tools and thimbles for over 30 years. I am also a dealer in this field and sell on eBay under the name -- serengeti2. I am NOT, and I repeat NOT an expert on antique or vintage domestic household sewing machines used for everyday home sewing. I can offer help when it comes to TOY or miniature collectible sewing machines ONLY.
