I don't know, probably. The bottoms of the feet have "modern" lathe tool marks and the backboards have circular saw tool marks as well. How much...
Here is a period chest from Jack Plane's blog, an authority on early English furniture who is retired now & makes reproductions that are period...
Still, an attractive chest of drawers even if not period, notices the teardrop pulls are attached with nuts & bolts which they wouldn't be if...
Or a nicely crafted reproduction of a W&M chest, not uncommon here in the states to "age" repro's. Yeah, I noticed that and in the 2nd photo down...
Well, the pine secondary looks very fresh, no oxidation at all, there are no dust boards either. Cut nails are a 19th-century product, if the...
Yes, the style is William & Mary but I don't think period, guesses English, late 19th century or later, walnut veneer with single arch molding,...
I do sympathize with folks who purchased expensive pieces years ago as an "investment" which could be the case with this latest Bieber chest....
Yes, trying to guess the market in antique furniture unless a dealer who constantly turns their inventory is a fool's game that you are bound to...

It should but, with a 28k hammer & 35k sale with BP 6 months ago, the seller really screwed the pooch here. I suspect the seller was hoping for...
Indeed, exactly half of the estimate 6 months ago. Ocean winds are fickle, add-in you are constantly turning around as you proceed from one hole...
Predicts lower, second sales of the same object within 6 months is like a second romance with the same person, almost never works out. We shall...
BTW, the angel oak is a "live oak" tree which means it's an "evergreen", it does not shed its leaves the way red/white oak trees do and the wood...
