Trying to date and stylistically place this flame birch chest of drawers from an old farm in Norway. It has four graduating drawers, original escutcheons, hand-cut dovetails, pine secondary wood, turned half-columns, and a separate loose plinth/base with a bracket-foot character that feels somewhat British to me.

The veneer is highly figured flame birch with symmetrical bookmatching. Overall it feels somewhere between late Empire and early Biedermeier in a Scandinavian context.

Dimensions are 100 × 87 × 48 cm.

Would appreciate thoughts on dating, stylistic placement, and whether the base appears original.

The table is oval, extendable, with a central pedestal and four lion paw feet.

My hypothesis is that it might be an early expanding dining table from around 1835–1855, likely Northern European (Denmark or North Germany) or possibly English, in an Empire or late Regency to early Victorian style.

The top could be crotch mahogany with a bookmatched veneer, but I’m unsure if it might instead be something like flame birch?

Leaves for extension is missing
