i have always refered to this style of maple as tigers stripe,so correct me if i'm not right on that.
the dresser is made of solid wood, no veneer at all. the drawer fronts themselves are over 7/8" thick, and have a very rich, lustrous, translucent look to the finish. the drawers pull very smooth, and have widely spaced dovetails. i do not have the keys for the drawers unfortunately.
the box is also the same tiger stripe maple, only it is veneer, but still very striking and matches pretty well with the dresser. it looks like there might have been a lining of some sort inside the box because there are glue/attachment stains inside. i'm also missing the key for the box. there is some writing on the inside of the lid in pencil, but i can't decipher what it says.
just wondering if anyone has seen similar pieces, and how old they are, where they are from, and knows what the relative worth is?
i will post additional pix.
