I started a new thread for this piece because it is not part of the set the other two belong to. It originally came from a department store in England, but I got it from a guy who bought it at an auction, so there is no history.

Alot of it is original but the mirror has been replaced.

Can anyone take a guess at what type of wood it is?

The finish is in good shape and seems to be original from what I can tell, so I'm wondering what I should do to maintain it as well.

Thanks for the responses. I wasn't sure about wax. I guess if you ever do decided to do something with a finish then you have to get the wax off, but if not it's OK to have it on there?

On the lemon oil is there any kind that's recommended? Does it need to be pure lemon oil? I'm guessing a lot of stuff might be like the "tung oil" finishes, don't really contain what it says it contains.

Thanks!
