Four-Drawer Wood Nightstand/Chest

This is a wooden four-drawer nightstand or small chest, appearing to be constructed from a light-colored wood, possibly oak or a similar hardwood, finished with a warm, medium-tone stain. The piece features a traditional or possibly Queen Anne style, indicated by the cabriole legs and shell carving details on the apron below the bottom drawer. The top surface has a slight overhang with a simple, decorative edge molding. The sides of the chest are fluted, adding a classical architectural element to its design. Each of the four drawers is equipped with a matching pair of ornate, dark-toned metal bail pull handles, possibly brass or iron with an aged patina, featuring a decorative escutcheon plate with a floral or scroll motif. The drawers appear to be of similar size, stacked vertically. The overall visible condition seems fair, with some light reflections obscuring exact details of the finish on the drawer fronts, but no obvious significant damage like large gouges or missing pieces are immediately discernible. The finish appears consistent across the visible surfaces. The item's design suggests an age from the mid-20th century, likely 1950s-1970s, based on the style of handles and the overall construction aesthetic common during that period for bedroom furniture. The craftsmanship appears to be factory-made, striving for a classic appearance with decorative accents.
