Craftsman Hat/Coat/Mirror Hall Tree with Cabinet
I've acquired a very attractive piece recently and I am trying to find out if it was designed and manufactured by a recognized Craftsman era artisan or is a one-off by someone who appreciated the style. I will attach photos for scrutiny by anyone who is interested in helping to identify it. There is a number on the top edge of both drawers: RDNo419672; perhaps it is a catalog number. The craftsman style drawer and cabinet door pulls have the number RD402708 embossed on the back of them, and the raised copper floral designs flanking the mirror have the number RD422495 embossed on each of them. The Casework has both mortise and tenon and dowelled joints and the drawers are fully dovetailed with hand made and extremely well fitting dovetailed joints. The whole piece is of all solid oak, no plywood, and all joints are glued, no nails. There are slotted, brass, express screws used to fasten the center panels and mirror back panel to the case and stiles and rails. The hardware all appears to be copper and brass and is of a design I have not seen before in all of my reading and shopping antiques stores, etc. Any help and input is genuinely appreciated! Please email me for the photos; the files won't upload here due to size and forum won't allow pdf's.
