ah hers isa computer desk reproduction, but as far as I can recall it looks identical to that.
replacing that centre drawer so that the face is hinged and putting a slide shelf inside would be a piece of cake, but maybe not fair to the furniture.

being 'in the trade'so to speak, would it make it any easier if I told you that the price of brown furniture at auction is through the floor and you'd be lucky to realise £30 for it before commission?

It's such a lovely desk and it would be a shame to mess with itno matter how much it's worth.

It depends.A good carpenter ( cabinet maker ) could do it sympathetically so that it would look identical and as long as the draw joints were not cut it could be put back to the original in no time.

It needs restoringanyway - the leather on top is very faded and marked, and a couple of the drawers are stiff. It's a reproduction itself, but a rather old one...I'm pretty attached to it, mind.
