I recently purchased this on Craig’s List for $300 in upstate New York.
I immediately fell in love with it and purchased purely for its form only, not for any potential function (much to my husband’s chagrin)!
I would like to know a little about the piece and potential worth, thank you!
· Two-tiered chest/sideboard/?
· Extremely heavy (heaviest piece of furniture I have ever had to handle)
· 5’H x 4’W x 19”’D
· Walnut/oak/mahogany? Dark brown finish with red undertones
· Heavily carved with scrolls, crescent moons, etc.
· Upper cabinet has one door, two shelves inside
· Unusual 45 degree sides on the upper cabinet with balled finials pointing downward
· Bottom cabinet has one large pull-out drawer, and two lower doors with 3 removable, sliding drawers/bins.
· Has hammered dark (iron?) hardware
· No markings or other demarcations other than faint chalk numbers on one drawer (see photo)
· Two balled feet in front, two tapered legs in back.
· Possibly Renaissance style?
Any insight you can provide is greatly appreciated.
