<p>[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 3663697, member: 5170"]Rock solid walnut Renaissance Revival washstand or small cabinet. Looks like a poor refinishing job and a fair amount of handwork along with machine-finished elements. If it were mine I'd 1)Keep it 2)Refinish it correctly and 3) enjoy it. </p><p><br /></p><p>The glass knobs look to be replacements for the original brass pulls, but are not totally out of place. As mentioned by previous posters, probably built ca. 1875 and will last another 150 years with some intelligent care. You could not buy this walnut and level of craftsmanship at Ikea for any price. Quite a gift!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
