[QUOTE="Nvntivs, post: 392973, member: 7975"][ATTACH=full]136383[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]136384[/ATTACH] Good afternoon everyone. I have here a rather unusual drop front bureau and I really have difficulties with it… I remember to have seen this kind of décor of the lower part but wasn’t able to date it at all. It is rather small. The green layer is felt. The front itself with its ledge decorations looks almost Jacobean but on the other hand the feet do not at all. There are no additional woods for holding the dropping front even, you have to pull out the upper drawers for it. It is all wood, no veneer. The hardware looks like old brass but definitely not the initial one, since you see a lot of unused old holes behind it if you take one off. The locks may be original, but are only stamped with "lever" nothing else.. The dove tails are handmade (I could show more pictures tomorrow) Does anyone have an idea?[/QUOTE]
