You have an antique roll top desk made by Rowlett and you need to know the value?

Answer 1

It would depend upon condition and desirability. The latter factor, in turn, would depend upon the quality and complexity of the cabinet work. Some of these desks had very complex interiors and these would be more valuable that the commonplace models. A very rough valuation might be between $1,000 and $3,000. But, in actuality, there is no such thing as an exact value. There are always guideline parameters. Hence the so-called science of "appraisal" is nothing more than an upper end valuation based upon the appraiser's opinion of the upper-end replacement value if an item were stolen or destroyed in an accident. An appraised value has very little relationship, therefore, to the market value which could be as little as half the appraised value.

Answer 2

It depends upon several factors, the wood it is made from (oak is the most common and least valuable)., the size and complexity of the interior divisions and the condition. For the most common type in good condition , then a minimum of $500.
