<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 1696728, member: 6444"]It looked likely all along that this is not a period piece due to the hardware and lack of wear, but your more recent pics show it is even more recent, probably 20th century but with hand cut dovetails to make it seem older than it is. That is not a serious problem to resale value, since it has great visual impact and would appeal to decorators looking for a great antique look. It will not, however, be comparable in price to 18th century English period pieces seen at Christies, Sothebys, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
