Sideboard for flashback!

[Tammy]

Inside drawer

[KC]

I see a Griffin, a pineapple and a Green Man!  Looks European to me so far....

[mart]

I think it is too KC,, now that I can see the figures better !!  Couldn`t tell if griffins,, looked more like dragons in first pics !!  Still need dovetail pics or if different construction however the drawer fronts are attached to the side piece !! Haven`t seen any in the last ones posted that looked like it !!  That wood is looking like oak !!

[Tammy]

There are 2 coy carvings on it

[Jlsherf]

When you say "coy" do you mean the fish "koi"?

[mart]

I am wondering too !!  Koi fish would not be European,, we are back to Asian !!

[Jlsherf]

The Griffins fit with Asia too!  Hmmmm!

This is Flashback on tammys phone ya if you zoom in just below the griffin on top you can see the koi pretty good on either side the face fish and designs defiantly look Asian at least influenced the drawer pull in the middle reminds me of some American federal type emblem my sister said she used to have to tell customers that a mr baker built the house in 1903 then she got foggy about where the sideboard came from but it's pretty well documented you can see in the pic I added of the broken wheel it appears to be more of a mahoggany than cherry to my untrained eye my sister recalled her speech did list the wood etc I'll do more digging and send more pics today thank you for all the help eventually I'll be considering options to sell it try my name is james

Try to get those dovetail joints if you can !!  That secondary wood is oak still not sure about the exterior but possibly mahogany with oak secondary !!  Sure would make it a heavy piece !! I am sticking with Asian,, there is just something about it that does not say it was made in Europe !! Fairly sure of the 1920`s era as I said before !!  The Green Man does not fit with that theme but we will wait and see !!
