Note the dovetails on the single drawer. The underside of the drawer bottom also shows saw marks and a chamfered drawer edge, common before 1840. The screws appear similar to those used from 1820-1850, or... due to the slight point, maybe after 1846/1856.

The piece has a single drawer with knobs, and accent moulding around the drawer front. It has been lovingly cleaned/restored/beeswax polished/spiffed up; the finish was not altered. It appears to be of mixed wood construction, perhaps an oak top with very shapely turned (mahogany?) legs. It is in overall very good condition, a solid and sound piece, having wear consistent with age and use. I chose not to refinish this piece because I think the distressing, finish loss, ink stains and other markings lend to its charm and character. A multi-use piece, it will look great in an entryway, bedroom, family room, living room, library, etc. less
