Antique Cabinet/Bureau


Antique Cabinet/Bureau

This is the most amazing thing we have found so far. When we looked at the house for the first time this dresser/cabinet was sitting closed up in the front parlor off of the bathroom. When we heard that they were probably leaving it we were more excited about that than about the house itself. We really don't know what it is. The carvings are amazing. The front of the piece is curved and has curved-front drawers and cabinets. The mirror is large and backed with leaded silver. This is definitely staying. It will probably end up as a diningroom piece. We found several things in the house that came from Japan and are guessing that someone was stationed there during the War and sent things home to PA. Lucky us!
