<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 133552, member: 37&quot;]Based on the details, I do think this is an antique and would place it a bit earlier than 1900.&nbsp; Possibly as early as 1860.&nbsp; Your piece appears to be a hand made and is sometimes referred to as a country piece due to lack of sophistication in style and construction methods.&nbsp; As such it really doesn&#039;t have a discernible style. </p><p><br /></p><p>The drawer appears to have a lap joint that has been reinforced with dowel pins.&nbsp; The pins may have been added at a later time than the piece was made, as it is not common construction.&nbsp; The peg and scallop joinery mentioned previously is a machined joint from the late 19th century, but is different than this.&nbsp; Some additional pictures of drawer bottoms, how the knobs are attached,&nbsp; and a close up of the wood might provide some additional insights.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
