Sometimes I come across things that I just know I have to have.
I have no idea (at the time) what I'm going to do with it, but I just had to bring it home.
At the beginning of it's life it belonged inside a desk. A rather large desk I would imagine
18 drawers and two open shelves.
Great craftsmanship and design.
But the leather was a bit rough.
The hand cut dovetails tell me that this piece was made sometime before 1860. I love it.
now to figure out exactly how to finish it.
Ohhh the possibilities :)

This morning I wanted to see the inside of the middle section, so I pushed from behind to open the drawers without a knob
The whole middle section came out with 4 drawers in one
And behind it is two more drawers, a shelf and spot where one drawer is missing!
SUPER COOL!
