<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 197413, member: 37"]I'm afraid I don't have too much to offer here. I almost get the sense that this is an older panel that has been made in to a chest with other wood. The front is so elaborate and the rest so very plain. The quality of the carving is not consistent with a true antique so it may have been made all at once. The disparity in details just makes me question this so wanted to throw it out as a possibility. </p><p><br /></p><p>The wood on the bottom, sides, top, and feet is pine. I can not tell if the front is pine or not but may very well be. Being pine limits the source to some degree. For example, I doubt it would be Indonesian which might have been my first guess. It could be from India but I am also kind of getting a Mexican or South American vibe from this. The iron hardware would be consistent with Mexico or India. The style doesn't scream out to me on this so you may need to do more research to pin it down.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
