[QUOTE="Resident, post: 4517894, member: 77601"]Hi Recently came across this, looking to restore it but want to check what it is first. supposedly it was brought out of Germany around ww11 and was an heirloom then passed onto another family. If that’s not true then it’s at least that old and possibly from portugal or spain, a signiture on the top (under the surface that was removed, says Furnando or at least thats what it looks like) I was told mahogany but looks like dark oak to me. Structural members are a single large dovetail joint very neat but look done with a handsaw. Draws have about 10 blind dovetails each side with very fine pins but again they look hand cut to me but maybe not. Handles look late 18th c but Im no expert can’t find this style anywhere online only have 2 pics at the mo but if people are interested will try and get some of the dovetails[/QUOTE]
