Antique Chippendale Style Shell Carved Mahogany Ball and Claw Drop Front Desk

Description

My wife acquired this desk maybe 35 years ago, not sure where or for how much. She's no longer with us, and I'm clearing out and looking to get a fair price for this. I did have a partial label that said "Rockford ILL. Wondering if you can date it and provide any enlightening information and value. Thanks so much for anything you can provide.

I am looking to sell locally as I do not want to deal with shipping.
