Description

I don't know anything about this piece other than the logo inside of the drawer that reads "Drexel" and the stamp on back that states a # of 2121-2, The Georgian Group, Drexel, 12-49.

I gather that the piece was made 12/1949 and perhaps the collection was part of the Georgian Group? I truly have no idea.

I purchased the piece to refinish with paint, but upon closer inspection...I had second thoughts. I certainly do not wish to devalue this gorgeous piece and if it is worth more as-is, so it shall remain :) It is in ok shape. The top and feet need some love.

Many Thanks for your time.
