    It looks faux painted.

    It is definitely not teak. The drawer fronts may be mahogany, though they do look false grain painted. Can we see a better picture? The case looks more like a fruitwood. A good straight on picture of the top would be helpful.

    The carcasse appears to be fruitwoood with a pine board backing; the drawers do indeed appear to be grain painted to resemble mahogany. Hard to guess the age, but I’m getting a mid 19th century vibe.

    I am really not sure on the wood for the top. Looks to be a large width single board. That would probably rule out most fruitwoods. I wonder if it might be something like tulip poplar?
