<p>[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 418695, member: 5066"]It looks to me like an American 1st quarter 19th century Hepplewhite bow front chest of drawers with flared french feet and cock bead drawer fronts. Could be original brass pulls as well, nice chest. Value? well, not as much as one would think these days, I'll guess $1000-$2000 at auction, more in a retail setting.</p><p>Primary wood is mahogany, can't see what species of wood is on secondary construction but, there are really only 2 possible locations for origin, america & england and with those eagle brasses, i am goin with american. A genuine, no foolin around, antique piece of period furniture![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
