<p>[QUOTE=&quot;laura9797, post: 10245432, member: 9323&quot;]Thank you so much!&nbsp; I know some cabinetmakers like to recycle - sometimes to confuse buyers.&nbsp; I have had quite a few pieces of English &#039;antique&#039; furniture that were 19th century cases with newer components made to look original.&nbsp; I believe this piece was likely purchased at the height of the antique southern furniture craze. Pieces were sold for a pretty penny.&nbsp; The whole piece seemed a bit strange.&nbsp; I really expected to see some nice dovetails.&nbsp; I have seen some square blacksmith style nails in more primitive pieces but I wasn&#039;t sure.&nbsp; The sides of the top looked like circular saw marks.&nbsp; Does the finish look like someone was trying to give it patina?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
