Terry, Custom "Art-Cases" were often ordered by the wealthy clients who could afford a Duo-Art reproducer. That's what it probably is, and in an imaginative mish-mash- of styles that somehow still "works", as you will see in plenty of 1920's stuff, such as movie palaces. I'd call this one "Jacobean" ( stretchers and legs) meets "Art-Deco" ( desk ). Or "Jacobeo". It was also probably a lot darker, when new.
