<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808 raver, post: 10331903, member: 4654&quot;]I have had a reply from Christopher Clarke Antiques. I had said in my email &quot;I didn&#039;t pay campaign chest money so if it&#039;s new, fake or a conversion then please feel free to say&quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;your chest is a little confusing and this is probably because it has been through a workshop at some stage.</p><p><br /></p><p>The fitting of the brass straps and handles look awkward but this may be due to them being removed to re-polish the chest and then refitted.</p><p><br /></p><p>The dovetails and drawer lining etc. look English and period. A one piece, 3 drawer chest is a little unusual but we have seen others before. The over hanging top board looks a little awkward, but again, we have seen others before.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m guessing that the holes to take the replaced, removable feet are threaded ?</p><p><br /></p><p>So, in summary, I would say its period but has probably been through a workshop which hasn&#039;t helped it.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I have asked what date &quot;period&quot; is, I hope to get a reply but I&#039;m pushing my luck and would fully understand if one email was enough to repay the favour.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
