No comment except someone here will tune you up on what needs to be seen to provide information. The more you provide and the better the pictures the more information you will get. No offense intended but you haven't given us anything to view and work with.
While your view of the side of the drawer is hard to see-- I can see enough of the dovetail to put it in the 19th century.
Construction and style puts it in the mid to late 19th century. I'd think that your chest was made in the 1850s- 70s.
Wood grain is visible in a few pics as well and looks to be cherry.

Thank you, that helps. The piece was given to me by a friend. I will add another picture.

I believe the dating could be correct. Since the handles are made of wood and not the more expensive brass, it was probably made somewhere in the country. Modest value.
