Any information on this desk?

I was asked to look at this desk in the rectory living room of a clients church. I only had time to take a few phone pictures and a few rough measurement. Desk stands 30" high, has a gold leaf leather writing surface, and each side of the top is 31". From the back point to the center of the front is 34" (haven't done that math yet). Not sure if the photo shows the side drawers are curved as well. Is this a unique piece or common for the period? What period is this, my guess is the 20's. Any help or information would be appreciated.

Rick- I've made two desks like that one. There's picture in Sheraton or Hepplewhite of an oval-topped Lady's desk like that. Yours is probably a repro- I don't think there are a lot of them around-Al
 
Thanks Al, I appreciate the response. Do you have a set of plans I could purchase to price out nd build this desk? I have two more pictures but they were too large to add to the original message, thinks again, Rick
