I am a cabinetmaker, an...Wow, what a gorgeous find! I am a cabinetmaker, and antiques collector, and I can pretty confidently say that the veneer is a form of ribbon mahogany. If you do an image search, you will find mostly plain ribbon examples. It's sort of a combination of figured and striped (ribbon), and only occurs on certain trees (maybe one in a thousand?). It's truly spectacular wood. Here's an example of 3 ribbon boards, with one of the three with additional checking/figure like your dresser:<br />https://www.cookwoods.com/lumber-site/shop/images/50684/?340,600,0,3145586074<br /><br />It's hard to tell where it was made, but it's in a French style, and it's in great shape. I'm glad it's in the hands of someone who likes natural wood (rather than someone who would paint it: which I see OFTEN, and nearly cry).<br /><br />:)JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09831757279235998895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-29387184793493304762013-04-07T19:00:57.677-04:002013-04-07T19:00:57.677-04:00Well, I think the votes in for tiger eye maple!

FWIW, there was a particularly awesome chandelier at Angel Street last week that I'm hoping someone very deserving picks up.<br /><br />This morning I went thrifting in the suburbs and threw myself on a mosaic-top Sputnik era coffee table, while begging my husband to let me buy it and not worry about the refinishing needed. When I got up to pay for it -- $80 DOLLARS -- the woman knocked off $20 because "it's been here for a while and the legs are wobbly". Yeah, that doesn't happen in the city.annabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06800606813016425338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-41113756569155563362013-04-07T16:52:07.374-04:002013-04-07T16:52:07.374-04:00Hi Jenny, the chest is gorgeous!
