I dont want to risk damaging something i shouldnt. Theres also a set of draws, im thinking 1950`s IVE INCLUDED A PIC OF THAT TOO.Many Thanks Guys, I really appreciate any advice as a newbie trying to learn.

The sideboard with round handles is definitely Scandinavian, probably Danish, probably from the 1960s.
The sideboard with the longer skinny pulls is possibly Scandinavian, maybe British, almost certainly European. Probably 1960s as well.
The chest of drawers is American.

I'm no expert at all, but please don't update or modernize these. The two sideboards are exactly as they should be. I see many people, locally, who paint pieces like this or "repurpose", and it's heartbreaking (not in the grand scheme of life, but from a furniture standpoint). People will appreciate them just as they are.:)
