<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James Conrad, post: 832855, member: 5066&quot;]That is the piece on sale this Saturday and, if you read the first post in thread i noted that:</p><p>&quot; I&#039;d say it&#039;s a period chest and it appears to be all there with the exception of the ebonized spindles/eggs and drawer pulls.&quot;</p><p>These applied turnings were usually glued on and, they are almost always missing/replaced to some degree or other. Most of these decorations on the chest for sale this Sat are replaced I&#039;d guess, as well as drawer pulls which are replaced for sure.</p><p>These applied decorations are not structural elements to the chest, ditto drawer pull &amp; don&#039;t really detract from the piece. Don&#039;t get me wrong, it would be great if they were original however, the last chest in &quot;very fine&quot; condition sold for 482k, a hideous amount.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
