Antique writing desk - please identify if possible

[GopherDaGold]

I purchased this antique writing desk through a local estate auction yesterday. The bidding was frenzied in the last hour but I managed to snipe it away. I will pick up the desk and chair tomorrow and I paid $420 for both pieces.
What period is this desk? Victorian?, Edwardian? Georgian? Did I get it for a good price?

Any help is appreciated.
Also take a look at the chair. It definitely does not go with the desk as it screams Arts & Crafts and I'm almost as excited about the chair as I am with the desk.
Thanks, all.

Very Nice Piece. Certainly looks like it was worth the price you paid. Desk looks like it has been refinished? Any hidden compartments?

I don't think it has been refinished but I'm certainly no expert. It may have a secret compartment and I will be looking for it when I get it home.

Wow, this table is in excellent condition, we got it at a low price, tell me at which dealership you found this
