What period is this chest of drawers

Hi

Ive recently inherited this walnut cylindrical chest of drawers but have no idea how old it is. if anyone could tell what period its from i'd be very interested.

 

I believe this is a fairly modern Indonesian import.

 

Hmmm. that doesnt quite tie in with the amount of time my grandparents had it. thanks though.

 

Maybe some pics of drawer construction would help narrow it down. I thought newish as well. Its a great little piece .

 

Welcome!

 

Thanks. does this help?

 

As Johnny said, pictures of drawer construction, close up of drawer pulls, how drawer pulls attached, these are the things we look at to determine age.

No, need a side picture of how the front joins the side

 

Please always use the FULL IMAGE option for all your photos.
Thank you.

 

Not sure how, sorry. it only lets me upload small files.

 

It just seems to be butted.

 

At the top of your photo list is a photo/group photo with that option.

 

I don't see anything to change my opinion. By fairly modern, I mean sometime the last 40-50 years. I realize that some think that to be a long time ago but, to those of us used to dealing with furniture at least twice that old and more, this is fairly modern. How long have your grandparents had it?

 

Ah, i thought you meant last 10 years. they had it since the 60s, or so im told.

 

Also, don't believe this to be walnut but, rather, some type of tropical plantation hardwood.

 

Yeah, i was guessing on the wood type to be honest. it just has a similar irregular geain to walnut.

 

Now you mentioned Asia ive found some very similar ones online. it's sheesham wood apparently. thanks for your input.

 

Found this......

Using sheesham as a search term, I do find more. Seems that India is the common source. Would have thought Indonesia with those drawer pulls but India is also a likely probability.
