This is the armoire/ linen press that my mom has.. .knows little about it except it is from turn-of-century and was brought by ship from Europe in five pieces. Takes up half of room! Solid wood machine dove-tailed. A gorgeous piece of furniture.... any help in identifying it would be much appreciated!

The style looks to be Edwardian (England) but the dovetails say Continental possibly Swedish or...? Looks late 19th/e20th century.
If you take more close ups of the locks from the inside it will help date it ...take a drawer out to get the shot, while out lets see the back dovetails and a shot ( well lit) of the interior where you take the drawer out. The paint is not original. The dovetails are hand cut.

Thanks for the kudo. The dovetails are absolutely hand cut and this particular style of dovetail is seen on Contnental and Scandanavian drawers. I would date it circa 1890/1900+. If mine I would pursue the Swedish possibility. Are there any labels or writing on the back or inside?
