<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 366115, member: 6444&quot;]Doesn&#039;t look right for a period piece. I&#039;m not bothered by the missing veneer except it looks too thin which indicates it is mid 19th century or later. Also the screws are not 18th century, the patch in the back doesn&#039;t make sense (making it look like it was put together using old wood), the drawer bottom (oak indicating English) is not correct so if this is an old piece it would have to be a wholesale replacement, foot pads are too small and legs too straight, carving too crude, etc. There was a lot of this bench-made-to-look-old furniture around the turn of the century into the beginning of the 20th, so I would guess that is when this was made, possibly put together using some old parts. Probably in England where there was an industry supplying Americans with &quot;ancestor&quot; furniture.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
