<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 371126, member: 6444"]Nice pictures. First the secondary wood looks like oak so made in Europe makes sense. The relatively thick (but not real thick) case wood and underneath patina look late 19th century to me. The lack of dovetails and machine finish nails confirm late 19th to early 20th century, also supported by relatively little drawer wear, original brass hinges and the stencil, same on drawer and underneath so not a replaced piece of wood.</p><p><br /></p><p>All told to me a turn of century piece in Louis French style. Very nice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
