    Help Date this antique

    Are there any furniture sleuths here looking for a challenge? I picked this up at the flea market this morning for 200 Swiss Francs. I am trying to get an idea of approximatey when this was made. Here are a few clues from the piece.

    No visible screws
    Even dovetails on the top drawer
    Brass on the locks is smooth
    No screws present
    All wood, No plywood or pressboard
    Glass is smooth (maybe not original)

    My guess is late 19th or early 20th century. Any thoughts? Are there other pictures that will help date it?

    A flute without holes, is not a flute. A donut without a hole, is a Danish.
