Italian Chestnut, a wood I have no familiarity with, is also a possibility....
Sure has the gray appearance so familiar with Hickory ( not for this piece) and
chestnut....

I think knowing the purpose and target market (fancy rich folk?  Poor peasants (
more my Grandparents style)? or Middle class?  )
for the furniture would also help in this search......
