<p>[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 291773, member: 5066"]Yeah, it's a Queen Anne low-boy or dressing table form but agrees with Brad & others, not period. You could restore it sure but, it most likely will cost more to do that than piece is worth as it's in pretty rough condition. Collectors can get away with doing that so if you like it, restore away!</p><p>On the last pic, those are called "knee returns" and are always a separate piece of wood that attach to the legs/case, often missing on period pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
