[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 4334472, member: 6444"]Although newer than the frankenstein desk/chest, it is in much better un-frankensteined condition. This has what looks like original paint and wood pulls, and yes, your date is correct, mid to late 19th century. Can't tell what type of wood due to the grain painting, though it is probably walnut with pine secondary wood which was used in this style of chest at that time. Paint is meant to look like rosewood probably? James Conrad says no-one on this forum likes painted furniture, but speaking for myself we actually all DO like painted furniture, as long as it is old and probably original paint like this.[/QUOTE]
