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.
