<p>[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 10496074, member: 76316"]My thought is that the overall delicacy of the cabinet design, including the drawer pulls, contrasts strongly with the rather massive, almost clunky handles...an' that slotted flat-head screws probably date their use here to the first half 20th C. I'm certainly not very knowledgable about fine furniture, but that piece looks late 19th C or so to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
