    Early American cherry chest of drawers, bought at give-away price.

    Solid cherry (and heavy) that dates from about 1830- 1850s.

    Original pulls and tight dovetailing would make me believe it is on the early side of that bracket.

    Will add some detailed photos in a few days.

    My chest, my photos— don’t copy in any form.

    Added a photo after a little wood conditioning! Not as dry looking now.

      Did a little finish renewal today and posted another photo.

      This dresser had sat too long and the surface was really dry looking.

      I like the look now!
