    Thank-you. I will try that. This is the item I was inquiring about. https://www.antiquers.com/media/clws-furnature-ltd-1930s.7840/full
    Can anyone help me identify this piece please and put a value on it possibly?
    I know it's form CLSW Cabinet Factory (Brumingham UK?) it has a tag on it possibly 1930's. The # is not not on it though. Is it a Bombay dresser?

    Looks like there may be issues with some of the veneer?

    Yes there were those obvious pieces that were chipped when I got it. Matching fill and stain can be a pain. You have any suggestions? Any information to share on this item for me is appreciated.

    Not what I think of when I read the word Bombay.

    Best and fastest way to reduce pic size is to simply screenshot it and upload the screenshot. Dave.

    I know. Perhaps child's dresser? I'm intrigued by it.

    No, isn't Bombay
    "A bombe chest is a set of drawers that bulges outward in the front and on the sides. The style, whose name comes from French word bombé, meaning “curved,” originated in 17th-century France."

    TY for the correction James Conrad, always thought Bombay & Bombe were interchangeable when speaking of chests. Never too old to learn from my mistakes. ;)

    I'd say that's probably correct, it's been "Americanized" to a large extent for these particular curved French chest forms. I'd say either spelling works, most everyone here knows what is meant by "Bombay" chest.
