Beautiful hand-carved details with scalloped framed door panels and apron, floral vines and stylized flowers, patterned drawers and corner decoration. Two cabinet doors on the sides, each with working lock and key, brass hinges and iron escutcheons, open to two interior shelves. Two drawers and one false drawer at the bottom, possibly used as a hidden compartment, accessed by pulling out the center drawer, each with small brass knobs (not matching). Beautiful dark amber color with waxed patina. Nice proportions with tall height and shallow depth. Well-crafted using mortise and tenon and pegged construction and sitting on sturdy legs. Minor restoration: the front left corner support was replaced at a later date and is made of oak. Normal wear for a 250 year old antique. Circa 1840-1860
