Mahogany Secretary Desk with Key Locking Mechanism, Curved Drawers, and Claw Feet

Category
Furniture
Condition
Good
Description

I am not sure who made or manufactured this secretary. The secretary / desk was very scratched and beat up when it was received, but it has since been sanded and restained.
I learned through this dresser that it is not always the best for valuation to "spruce up" antique furniture, but by the time I realized this, it was too late.
Two of its knobs were also missing when I received it, so I did have to get two replacement knobs for the top drawer (which is why the top knobs are slightly smaller than the bottommost ones, which are original to the piece as far as I know).
Someone that I don't know gave this to me for free. They were moving homes, and I assumed they were trying to downsize by getting rid of a lot of their furniture. It's structurally sound.

old bed

Category
American Furniture
Condition
Good
Description

I have an old bed I bought back in the late '70's. I've never seen one like it (nor has anyone I ever asked) and am hopeful you might possibly be able to tell me what it is. Or anything about it if you could. Attached are a few pictures. Oh, and what appears to be tears in the leather on the right footboard is just paper from some old stickers someone placed on it before I bought it. I never cleaned it off because I didn't want to stain or fade the leather. But there are no tears in it. Both sides of the footboards are leathered and brass-studded as well. There must be over a thousand brass studs in the footboards alone. And the headboard weighs a ton.
