is it veneer or solid?
It has a very interesting figure, but honestly I think it's highly unlikely.
It appears fairly late.
I say this because the width of the door frames are too wide and the model of antiquity wasn't made with drawers. Well it did have drawers but behind the doors; and there are many contemporary timbers that are used as huanghuali generics.
It is difficult to tell from just this photo, but the figure should also be bookmatched. This goes a long way in showing us that the quality is not what you would expect if the most expensive raw material on earth was used to construct it.
Sorry
