<p>[QUOTE="808 raver, post: 507478, member: 4654"]English and in my opinion 1790-1810 the handles aren't the originals, I have a bureau bookcase just like it. It's a pity the lock is missing but the original handles are easy to find, as to the refinishing, I would find the right stain and just stain the bleached drips then give the bureau bookcase many coats of wax. BTW look for secret drawers, when I bought mine I found a secret drawer with a very fine fountain pen in it, often they are hidden behind the moulded/shaped pigeon holes in the bureau[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
