Hard to tell from the images…

Hard to tell from the images, but this chest is most likely made of mahogany or walnut. It's typical with those made at the turn of the 19th Century through World War One and sold by Jewellery Retailers. Comparables tend to sell at auction in the $150.00- $300.00 range.
