I have to say, this piece doesn't say "old" to me. It says "expensive", and it says "very nice", but it doesn't say "old". I may be wrong of coarse. I ain't no expert, I'm barely a novice. The red flags to me were just how clean and sharp it looked, even in the carved design. If it old but was refinished, I would expect to see some residue of the old finish in the crevices. The wood in the drawers seemed a little off as well. Whatever age it is though, it looks like a fine high quality piece.
