[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 4386004, member: 5066"]No isn't, never thought it was.

[USER=59] @Bakersgma[/USER] was correct on " I figured that the circles could be plugs to mask the screw holes from previous pull hardware", but my goodness, those are some huge holes they drilled on the front when a little putty/wood-filler would do. Scratches on drawer interior look like "whitewood", so probably poplar as are the drawer sides & case and stained to mimic mahogany. Guesses late 19th century Hepplewhite revival piece that got "restored" in a very clumsy manner when they replaced those pulls. As noted, formal dining furniture is way down price-wise at the moment and those "celebrated" repairs to the drawer fronts will hurt value.[/QUOTE]
