<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Frenchtom, post: 205180, member: 3850&quot;]Hello everyone - I have what I think is an old linen cabinet and was wondering if anyone knew anything about it. It has some bizarre features -</p><p><br /></p><p>Half blind dovetails on the back of the drawers</p><p>Quarter sawn oak drawers</p><p>What looks like walnut veneer on the carcase sides and drawer fronts</p><p>A cathedral top</p><p>What looks like painted designs on one drawer front and on the panels to the side of the drawers</p><p>Neat, detailed carvings on one draw front and on the legs and skirts between the legs</p><p>Veneer on the inside of the two doors that almost look like a plastic replica</p><p>Weird carvings/moldings on the top that I thought were plastic or plaster but are actually wood with a thick finish, maybe varnish?</p><p>The drawers and doors look like they have worn out finish on them but the frame pieces of the cabinet are bare wood and have bits of what looks like black paint on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>It came from a second hand shop in Morehead City, North Carolina but there are military bases near by so its origin could be anywhere. I am interested in rejuvenating/restoring it but I want to get it right for the period of construction. There is nothing like it on any internet searches I do and part of that could be because I don&#039;t know what to call it. There is also no writing or any identifying marks. Any help is appeciated!</p><p>Tom</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]59259[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]59260[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]59261[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]59262[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]59263[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]59264[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]59265[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]59266[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]59267[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]59268[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
