signed "Dyr" -which can be construed as Dyer in a historical sense.
This name appears locally in Providence and Cranston in the period. The signature
can only be seen by removing the top. It's on top of the upper front rail.
The bureau is also marked "X5" in a number of spots, including overlapping
the signature. The drawers are numbered 5 through 8, suggesting this was originally
one of a pair.
