<p>[QUOTE="Hallingdalen, post: 10565645, member: 93477"]Based on the construction and details, I <i>think</i> this chest of drawers might be from around 1860–1885, possibly late Empire or early Historicism. It has dovetailed drawers, what looks like original brass handles, and an old finish that could be shellac. Could be Scandinavian or North German, but I’m not certain. I’m considering a light restoration and would really appreciate any input or corrections.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]530421[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
