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?
