<p>[QUOTE="blooey, post: 1856072, member: 12007"]I may be wrong but that type of leg design ...was it done in the 18thc? More like a late 19th showoff device IMO...also, other than the legs not looking like oak isn't the design of OP's table more 17thc than 18thc? </p><p>A lot of 17thc furniture styles were revived in the 19thc and a lot of it is quite convincing, I don't think this is a piece made from old wood either, just a folly not made to deceive and a product of good honest labor. But of course this is just my opinion, from what I've seen in the trade in passing as I've never dealt in furniture.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
