[QUOTE="Hallingdalen, post: 11599928, member: 93477"]From what I can see, it’s a fairly light construction: softwood core with veneered surfaces, traditional joinery (mortise & tenon, glue blocks under the top), and a very plain, unfinished back. The table top looks to be set to allow for wood movement rather than screwed down. The turned elements (legs and finials) are quite restrained, and the carved crest is shallow and symmetrical – more about shape than heavy ornament. There’s also some contrasting dark moulding framing the mirror, which feels intentional rather than decorative for its own sake. Any thoughts?[ATTACH=full]545820[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]545821[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]545822[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]545823[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]545824[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]545825[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]545826[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]545827[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
