I stumbled upon a treasure trove of antiques. One piece has me baffled. I would say late 1800’s gothic revival, but I have seen Indonesian carvings that mimick this style. Things to note: drawers and back appear to be cedar. They may be pine, but the smell suggests cedar. The fronts are maybe fruitwood, but appear to have a tropical grain. The color really does not match aged mahogany. There are buildings in the background of the carvings that appear to me to be French. The wood looks much like fruitwoods that I have seen in a lot of French pieces. The carvings, however, have some English influence with the “green man” in the doors, but really that is a staple in wood carving.

So, what do you think? It’s really cool, and a little gaudy. I want it for my home, which I will describe as “filled with antiques both tasteful and unusual.” I would rather, however, sell it, as I really need to make money more than spend it.

Thoughts?
