This is a colonial revival style piece from the 1950's, it's nicer than most lane chests, and is in good condition. Lane pieces have serial numbers from which the date can be determined. From what I remember dates of the Lanes made prior to 1930 are the six digit serial number read forward , after that they are reversed, and the later seven digit ones you drop the first number(reading forward). You could check with Lane themselves at http://www.lanefurniture.com/ About $400.00 in the shops. Lovejoy
