Not bad for Craig's List depending on where you are.

$100 more would br fair.

I agree with Ghopper on this. The raised panels on the drawers are a Renaissance Revival style. They were usually burl walnut. The pics on my screen are too dark for me to see the grain. Those pulls are also very typical of the period. They were used into the thirties as Mart said but were typical of RR style. I have had several pieces with the same pulls. Some were all brass but many were brass and another material like ebonized wood.

If you can get $300. by all means do it !!  Would not sell for that much here !!  These styles have not held value well !! Except for a few exceptional pieces !!
