<p>[QUOTE="Hallingdalen, post: 11562704, member: 93477"]You make a fair point. While screws can of course be replaced, the overall construction, symmetry, and the machine-made brass hinges give the piece a distinctly late-19th to early-20th-century character. Taken as a whole, it’s difficult to see this as earlier than the 19th century, and an early-20th-century date does seem entirely plausible based on the general look rather than any single detail.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
