<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nvntivs, post: 490563, member: 7975&quot;]Hi, and yes. I am in Germany. This piece I bought in southern Germany though with no background information at all.&nbsp; You are right though- Because of the keyhole plates I even thought when I first saw the cabinet on a picture it could be an Art Deco piece. However now, I am rather inclined to date it with 80-100 years earlier than that. Still...There is this very thin veneer… Everywhere I read, that thickness of 0,5-0,8 mm wasn&#039;t producible before the end of the 19th century.. However, up to now I mostly checked empire and Biedermeier reference pieces… maybe I should check the English ones too…</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the knobs - yeah, I would too. But when you touch them, they just feel too cold for bone. And also much to hard. There was a broken stem in one of the covers, so I tried to scratch a groove for a screwdriver in it in order to turn it out - was not really possible... Don&#039;t know if ivory is maybe harder than usual bone...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
