However, seeing the $-sign later, of course it could be in the U.S., or Canada or elsewhere where dollars are used. Cutting my guesses to the chase, let's say it's in the U.S. of A., where I am too now. A sideboard with no less than three drawers in real wood, oak, is a bargain at two-hundred bucks! Try buying a new chest of drawers, or a sideboard for that matter, for twohundred in a new store. Drawer furniture are at a premium for storage alone. And most new furniture are cr-p, with thin wood veneers or plastic imitation wood surfaces that scuff easily and/or start peeling without anyone even going near them. And you'd be hardpressed to find anything decent in a 3-drawer piece for 200. I would not sell it as an antique but as a utilitarian piece of furniture. I have bought 100% of my useful storage pieces as used furniture, i e quasi-antiques. How antique I didn't care, I needed the drawer space! That some of them turned out to be pretty good investments later was plain luck. This piece is MCM rosewood, and has five very good drawers. It's now in our BR whereas at that house it was in the diningroom, it's versatile. Pardon the darkness; couldn't bring it up any closer from this old photo.[ATTACH=full]268505[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
