London Fine Antiques has dated this piece to the 1750s.

Standing atop ogee bracket feet, five graduated, dove tailed, oak lined drawers are arranged in a ‘two over three’ configuration dressed with brass swan neck handles and brass lock escutcheons. Both the drawers and fall lock with the original key.
