<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 136403, member: 37"]1870s or so transitional piece from the late <i>Renaissance Revival</i> into the <i>Aesthetic Movement</i>. The form is moving toward the latter but still a bit heavy while the style of the inlay is more classical. Probably European but if American, this could be an important piece. Similar work was being done by high style cabinet makers on the East coast such as Herter Bros.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
