<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 9821705, member: 37"]This is where my lack of knowlege about English furniture breaks down. I know they used hand cut dovetails much longer than we did, so maybe they fit with a 20th century date. Those wide pine back boards would not be seen in a 20th century American piece. Would they be typical in England? We don't have dimensions here so maybe they are not as wide as I think. Top seems to be at least 2 boards so that is OK with 20th century.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
