OH MY, .... now that is a unique one. Beautiful piece. I don't recall ever seeing a picture of one similar to it.

If I was to guess I would say late 1800's.

That is really unusual. Could you give us more info and pictures. What are the dimensions? It appears to be very low in the picture but the window mext to it looks very large. I would like to see the back, and where the front and side on the drawer are joined and also the bottom of the drawer. It has Empire motifs but looks, as Cogar said, like late 1800s. It may be as recent as the 1920s. Does it have any history like how you acquired it and from where?

Thanks for the info.  Bought it from a woman who inherited it from her aunt.  She didn't share any info with it.  Dim 53"×22"×43" add 22" to include mirror.

Wow! I have never seen one like this as well.  Beautiful and unique.  Wondering if it was a custom piece. 

Can you please give the dimensions of the piece?

Having trouble downloading more pics.

You can upload them to Photobucket, etc., ..... then 'copy' the ".jpg" link from that site ..... and post it here.

Be sure to high-light the link and then click the "insert img" tab for each one of them that you insert into your post.

Dovetails say 1920 or after !! It is a unique and beautiful piece !! My opinion is late 20`s or early 30`s when the Empire Revival style is beginning to evolve !!  
More pics if possible please !! Keep trying to decide if that date is correct or if this is a later repro of an earlier style !! Looking at the drawer sides appears more like a reproduction from 50`s or 60`s !!
Is the glass beveled ?? Can you take a closer pic of that top ??   Is it etched glass or something else ??
