[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 2709719, member: 5066"]No, probably not, mostly because of those architectural panels, particularly these panels. There are 2 ways to achieve that "look", 1. carved from a solid wood front or 2. Like yours, applied boards attached to front. That is clearly a second half 18th decoration in USA, not positive about europe but guessing similar. Plus hardware on your chest is in line with that period of time. Don't make the mistake many do of falling in love because of age, just because it's old doesn't translate into valuable.[/QUOTE]
