Definitely looks like it.
Handsome piece. Austere, natural wax finish. Handles appear original.
19thC - fairly commercial this model, preferable to central drawer desks at any rate, but desks as a general rule just don't for some reason do as well as tables & other pieces of furniture of the same period.

hi George, do you still have the table you post here? I want to see if you still have it?
