[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 3367057, member: 5066"]Sure does, very distinctive drawer construction. Steam-powered machines largely took over furniture making in the 1840s in America, almost everything except drawer boxes. It took 50 years, ( with Knapp joint exception), to finally figure out how to cut dovetails by machine. It is very common to see victorian furniture which dominated style-wise in the second half of the 19th century to see the case built by machines but the drawer boxes built by hand.[/QUOTE]
