The only mark I have found is this one on the lock box.

Hi. Here are the pictures. The one for the bottom hinge is taken with the door pulled out (as if being removed) to show the actual hinge. As far as I can see there are no obvious modifications. Garry

Hi
The story was that my Aunt's Late husband was an avid collector of the unusual. He was walking past a second hand furniture shop while they were busy offloading. He spotted this and immediately went inside and offered to purchase it. He paid the sum of R350 ($30) for it.

So far I have only come accross the following carving that looks similar:https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQWvoZ06TyWzte Ksxh8LhzPrhNOn8bFHo 3jX2Djrno3bjy01McMo g
But there is no description with the article.

Hi there Forum Members

I inherited this piece of furniture from an Aunt. I believe it is Jacobean, circa 1820.
I have tried many times to find a similar style/design but so far was unable to. I also think that there was some other part that fitted on top (maybe a court buffet).

Can anyone please advise further.

Regards
Garry
