Antique Questions Forum / Walnut chest of drawers. Hand cut dovetails

« on: May 29, 2015, 10:23:38 pm »

Came across this. It is ALL solid wood no veneer. Has hand cut dovetails and square nail construction from what I could tell. Nail heads are also uneven. Drawer faces are all one solid plank. And Keyhole escutcheons are wood. Locks inside are also older and all identical and there is scribe lines for where they were marked. Board on top is one solid plank(My guess is around 24" wide) and the little drawers on top are also solid planks of wood.

I am having problems getting ideas on this. The pieces on the drawer faces where the knobs are seem out of place and they look to be glued on. There is only the single holes in all the drawers but the holes for the screws(For the knobs) are drilled big and countersunk about 1/4" into the wood. So possibly not original(Or maybe because of the pieces in front)? Anyone know the age, value and possibly origin?

enlarge that pic of the top and see if anything strikes you as odd about it !!

I was thinking the same thing as soon as I looked at the pictures. It doesn't look "right" at all to me. The grain it self seems "blotchy" to me. Maybe it's just the pictures I don't know. Also the fact that I see NO seams at all in the veneer!

I have no knowledge on these, but they could very well be Brittish, or? Why do you think it's from the Civil War?
