I just had this same dilemma a month ago except I wanted a square table that was 16" square or less. I googled telephone stands and came up with some smaller tables. I wound up ordering mine from furniturebutler.net. They had great service, lots of choices, round, oval and square. My table arrived all in one piece packaged very well with no damage. And it was less than $150. HOpe this helps you!

Thank you everyone for the honest opinions. This was an impulse buy; but I've figured out the solution. We are going to buy a guest cottage for all of my CL finds that are just too tempting to pass up! I wish.... Tomorrow I may try them in the LR, though the LR furniture is all mahogany. I realize now I really need to get rid of the bookcase as once I shoved it over more there seems to be more space--perhaps for a 24" round. Tomorow it's going on CL. I'll try the drum tables for size there tomorrow. I'll take some more pics tomorrow and start a new thread about my FR--please look for it. I've been stumped with this room for over a year now. I do need to get a bookcase and 1-2 end tables. I really need some different perspectives. I'm liking the ottoman there at least. It never worked before I realize now because there were no side tables. If anyone can help me with the design-a-room software, I'd really appreciate it.

As others have posted, this is not antique or even particularly "vintage". At one time antique was a legal definition indicating age over 100 years old and related solely to customs as antiques were exempt. While there are certain indicia of construction that indicate something is antique, that is less applicable since many antiques are machine made. That kind of stuff is more relevant if one is trying to date replicas - i.e. a Chippendale replica versus one that is 200 or 300 years old. For practical purposes, the style of your piece indicates that it is not an antique or even a piece pre WW II or probably even from the 1950's because that particular style of desk wasn't made until probably the 1970's. In terms of value, my experience is that pieces like this have no value except as utilitarian pieces of furniture. No one wants them and the market is glutted with wood furniture. Desks like this would be particularly valueless because they aren't suited for today's computer usage - no place for peripherals such as docking stations or printers. Not even one small file drawer to store what isn't digitally retained :-). Even if one wants a traditional type of look, most people would prefer a functional desk that reflects how people actually work.

Thank you. No one seems to have seen anything like it! As above suggested by Carol, others have theorized it perhaps came from a public space, like a library or a hotel. Who knows!? I wonder what country it's from. Thank you all so much for your feedback. :)
