<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 4378076, member: 6444&quot;]Great advice, and my hands are down too. The other giveaway besides the outward carving and appearance is the secondary wood here - another tropical wood which would not have been the case in england/europe or the US. And often if you get underneath you&#039;ll see dowels being used. Which is why it is so important to look at a piece everywhere - especially inside, underneath, from the back - much more important than the finish surfaces.</p><p><br /></p><p>And an even better option than keeping this one may be to find a better, more authentic piece and then pass this one on to someone who cares more about the look than they do its authenticity. Period desks are very underappreciated in today&#039;s market so a good time to buy and you can be very selective.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
