Thanks for the dimensions, Raymond, I've updated the appraisal.
This is much older than the mid 1950s. The shrinkage in the top and the encrustation throughout are both evidence of that. Late 19th century is more likely when this was made. (1875-1900 or so)
LxWxH (48"x24"x90") this piece of furniture was in my brother in-law's family before they got married in 1970. I can only assume it must be mid 1950's or so.
