Oh my, my,
…. a
drop-front “secretary” bureau ….. is my first guess as to what I would call it.
And my second wild guess would be ….
pre-1850 construction …. just to get the conversation “heated” up.
Beautiful piece with its .... “single board” …. breadboard edge “drop front”, … hand-cut “dove-tail” drawers ….. and original hardware.
How about a
full “side view” picture of it … that shows a partial “view” of the front …. so that one can see that “top” shelf.
