<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 26202, member: 37&quot;]I don&#039;t usually associate a bow front with Empire styling (except some Empire revival pieces). The way the columns go all the way to the top is more typical of Federal, as are the oval brass pulls. Empire pieces often have the top drawer larger and overhanging, with the columns ending below. The knobs are generally wood, sometimes glass, or just a knob if brass. The small 2 drawer step-back on top is more typical of Empire pieces. This, plus the mass of the columns keeps this from being a strictly Federal piece from my point of view.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
