True 19th century satinwood is an expensive, very desirable and rare. The wood is fine grained, but figured, and used principally in veneer work and in inlay. The combination of the the pale satinwood outlined with the graphic faux ebony outlining of the drawers and top, combined with the scrolling detailed inlay, creates a unique piece with great visual interest. Currently the drawers must be opened with a key. We have ordered appropriate 19th century-style bail pulls. Additional photos will be posted when the pulls have been installed. less
