It is an odd one. I almost wonder if someone made this to use those glass panels, which are more typical for a cast frame.
Looks like pine to me. I am not well enough versed on non-American furniture to help with dating. If really 18th century, I would probably just...

Burl walnut circa 1930. Depression era traditional revival furniture. Borrows from various styles to create an overall traditional look with...

A bit late to the party here but want to say that it was a great buy at $8.00.
