Are you in the U.S. ??  Are the dovetails made similar to your chest ??  There was a furniture maker known for furniture such as this but I can not remember the name at the moment !

I'll have to empty it out and take a look underneath.  And yes I am in the US.  The family legend has my grandfather picking it up in Virginia.

No !!  Just pull out a drawer and look on the side where the drawer front attaches to the sides !! Those are dovetail joints that hold it together !!

Mart, they are looking to see if it ever had feet attached.
I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!

Yes, the dovetails and everything but the top and feet/legs are basically identical.
