<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 9545529, member: 79705&quot;]I bought this sideboard recently at a local auction in South East Coast USA and antique furniture is not (yet) an area I know much about so I was hoping for some helpful furniture friends while I continue my own research. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie25" alt=":bookworm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Looking for opinions time period, country of origin, and wood type (I&#039;m assuming the inside drawers are a different wood). It came from an historic boutique hotel in a port city but who knows if it was original to the place, or a stylist buying antiques.</p><p><br /></p><p>54&quot; w x 30&quot; h x 20&quot; d No marks that I&#039;ve found.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]454376[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]454377[/ATTACH] Carving detail on drawer.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]454378[/ATTACH] Carving detail on drawer.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]454379[/ATTACH]Right side, top.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]454380[/ATTACH] Left side, top.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]454381[/ATTACH] Dovetails.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]454382[/ATTACH] Bottom of drawer.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]454384[/ATTACH] Back of knob.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]454385[/ATTACH] Drawer guides.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]454386[/ATTACH]</p><p>Legs.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m also interested what our wood specialist friends would recommend for care. I&#039;m not looking to do anything major to it, but it does have damage to the leg (I have the missing frieze piece). Recommend maybe a matched stain for the damage and a particular wax? The top is obviously had a rough life but I&#039;m fine with it if it would be ill advised to touch it. I have framing wood glue for the missing frieze block, but it there a particular type I should be using? It&#039;s staying with me and I love a good worn in look so even if I did nothing to it, I&#039;d be very happy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any help.
