I did not find any sold desk like yours, and any current value would be deceiving, as these desks are very heavy and usually sell as 'local pick up only'.
That means the final value would be determined by how buyers in your area feel about this type of furniture.
Some areas may pay $200 while another area might only pay $40.

The only way to know for sure would be to list it for sale and see what type of offers you receive.
If you decide to try this, you will need several very good pictures (your pictures are too dark) and start at a higher price; maybe even $400 with best offers considered and leave it listed for a few weeks.
If no offers are received then lower the price and wait again.

This looks like a nice cherry desk, so hopefully, you will decide to keep it.
I believe this loco was used after 1960.

The price will depend on the demand in your area as shipping is expensive.

This desk is called a kneehole or pedestal desk.
Your Bassett furniture desk is made from cherry wood, I think savannah cherry.
This Basset desk is from the Italian Collection, I think from the 1960s.
