Vintage/Antique Pine Chest

[Eri]

Found this small chest at Good Will this past weekend. Was going to re-do it, but noticed some unique details with the hardware and branding. The oval piece in the center is a hardware company that makes antique/vintage furniture. I’ve tried doing a Google lens search on it, but no
luck finding any information. Any input would be appreciated and I’m also waiting till I learn more about this piece before I start any projects on this chest. Thank you!

It appears to me from your pictures that this is a newly built pine box and these ornaments / brackets / medals were reapplied to finish this box !

There's Phillips screws so the thought of this being antique/vintage is screwed.
Nice looking chest though.

Looks like a harder pine than Eastern white pine (Pinus strobus), which is traditional for old chests. Looks more like fast-grown (plantation) southern pine. Agree is is modern.
