American chestnut available from Ocooch Hardwoods

Pretty sure it’s more like 1880-1900 based on the dovetails and the escutcheon for the key. I used to restore antiques for a living. But just as easily the drawers could’ve been redone at anytime and they often were. Would need to see how the carcass was assembled, drawer bottoms, etc. Beautiful piece regardless.

I take some more tomorrow. My interest is peaked for dating it.
