Furniture from a Salem, Massachusetts, Collection

Refinished, replaced pulls, good overall condition. When the consignor purchased it, there were some holes at the back edge (from a later added gallery or other decorative element, perhaps) that are now plugged - its not very obtrusive. There are some minor fixes to inlay and veneer, and the brasses are replacements. In addition: we noticed, and have no idea why this would be, that it appears that the bottom front of each leg (below the cuff) is a small panel of veneer. This doesn't appear to be the case on the other three sides of each leg below the cuff. It does seem possible that it was made that way.
