<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 3892474, member: 37"]Agree with a relatively late date on this. No earlier than the 50s and maybe as late as the 80s. It is typical of what we had here in the US during that time period as unfinished hardwood furniture. People would finish to their taste and the finishes are usually a bit sub-standard. That is kind of what I see on your piece due to the lack of luster. I don't know if they had unfinished furniture in the Netherlands or not but that is kind of what it looks like to me. </p><p><br /></p><p>Pulls are Chippendale but the chest really has no distinctive styling otherwise that I can see. It is made from some kind of light colored hardwood with a walnut stain. Here in the States, it would most likely be birch or maple. I understand that in Europe a lot of beech is used as well. Could be any of these. Not a lot of value since this is just used furniture at this point.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
