Price Lets be honest - price is often a consideration. Antique Desks offer fantastic value for money at the moment - in many instances they are now significantly cheaper than modern reproductions - see examples at http://www.antiquedesks.net/
Quality Fine antique furniture was made to last - substantial and robust, a well restored antique desk will last (another) life time
Investment? Not necessarily - BUT - a quality antique desk will certainly retain a good proportion of its value better than a new piece of furniture. If you choose carefully and choose a stylish piece (perhaps one that is also marked by a well known cabinet marker) then it will certainly be sought after by future generations
A Piece of History. A fine antique desk will have been used by many people over its lifetime. Just possibly it will also have traceable history to interesting users in the past. It may have markers that directly point to a specific period or maker. It will certainly have character and style, and be unique
