    Hello everyone.
    I recently purchased an old farmhouse which had a few pieces of furniture left by one of the previous homeowners. All of the furniture looks like antiques to me, however, I have no experience in that area and could be wrong. So any help with identification would be greatly appreciated.
    The photos I currently have aren't the best quality, but I can provide more later.

    Thanks in advance!

    In America called a "Welsh Cupboard/Dresser" or "Pewter Cupboard" for display of plates but yours looks fairly new, i don't think it's old

    May not be old, but keep it if you possibly can!!!

    There are the four drawers: 'winter, spring, summer, fall." Obviously for decorative elements peculiar to each season. Plenty of room for your china, double-door section on one side for silver serving pieces, the other one for linens.

    Given tight placement between door and light switch in what appears to be the foyer, I wouldn't think it was old either. Old or new, useful piece of furniture with lots of "wow" because of scale.

    Agree that it can't be "old" old, but it can't be "new" new either. Who makes furniture that size nowadays??!! :)

    Maybe that's as far as they got it during the move and decided not to take it with them. :):):):)

    Something like... "I can't push this thing another inch. Let's just leave it."

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Welcome to Antiquers, @Chase2201 !

    I agree with the others on this. And I would love it if a previous homeowner left me something like that!

    All that was left from previous homeowners when I bought a house was an antique upright piano that was left in the basement and is not in playing condition partly due to the moisture down there. And extremely heavy, so I haven't tried to get it out of there.

    Figtree, I recently read that people are buying those uprights, gutting them and turning them into bars. You might be able to sell it on Craigslist.

    I think we had a thread a couple of years ago where we posted pics of pianos that had been turned into other things. I'll look. There were some good ones!

    EDITED... I couldn't find that thread.

    The lower part (including the knobs) looks a lot like a knotty pine TV armoire that was popular when I bought it in the mid-1990s. The pine/county kook was in back then. Because it’s so big, I like the light pine color.
