<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 1696900, member: 6444"]Sorry, I wasn't clear. The hardware should be brass so no rust, just tarnish. (If they are rusted steel that would be a real sign of incorrect hardware). The reason the brass hardware didn't look old (besides the locks that could have been replaced) was because it was cast without any hand tooling. My statement about "lack of wear" was referring to the fact that wood furniture as old as the 1700's shows wear and/or repairs - especially veneered pieces. This didn't show any so didn't look to be authentically antique. Subsequent pictures of the back and interior shows that even more clearly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
