[QUOTE="AvantG, post: 9525633, member: 82567"]Greetings Antiquers forum! Empire dresser in pine (my first assumption) with the exception of the small upper drawer still in mahoganey. I've concluded that the previous owner cleared the veneer some years ago before my wife purchased this piece. Perhaps the orange discoloration on the side is remaining adhesive? I want to get an approximate date on the dresser and opinions of its authenticity before I take next steps to elevate its appearance a bit. All observations and opinions are appreciate.
