    inherited from French great aunt of 93 years old. Has been in her family for generations. Any ideas on age, style, value etc appreciated. 975C46EC-03BB-4515-92F6-1129077496AA.jpeg F7B6E25F-C38C-4FB3-BD5F-43E87083FE8A.jpeg

    Most of us furniture people are here in the US so not as versed in European furniture. Mid to late 19th century looks about right for this but a look at the back and drawer construction might give us more clues.

    That looks nice. I agree, photos of the drawers and back would be helpful.

    From the style of the piece it is 19th Century. However, the hardware is definitely a mix of styles. Not sure if something was replaced over time or repaired with that. Definitely a picture of the back of the piece, a picture with doors open and a picture of the side of the drawer to see construction methods would help determine more about the piece. Although in the US I love, love, love French furniture and have quite a few pieces.
