<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 10053160, member: 37"]Deviate a bit with Ghopper on this, thinking it might be a tad earlier. I would say late classical (maybe neo-classical is the same thing?) and circa 1850. I don't see the aesthetic movement influence he mentions and think the pulls are all wrong for this piece. They are more typical of 1890-1900 mass produced oak furniture. Those exagerated scroll decorations at the top are a nod to Federal style, but nothing else really suggest it. I do think American and it may not have been made too far afield from where you found it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
