<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chris klausen, post: 9763616, member: 81903&quot;]In your reply was: &quot;Reality check&quot;, &quot; does someone really think this looks 17th century ?&quot; Yes everyone except you, As always the pictures are in adequate&quot; Do you mean my pictures are always inadequate? Don&#039;t lump me in with anyone else. At least in my world you come off angry. If you would have read my original post you would have seen I said it was wood peg construction. You put a lot of influence on the fact that you didn&#039;t see Dovetails. Well if you knew English furniture you&#039;d know these chests did not normally use dovetails since these Chests were at their height in 1650 just when Dovetails were just coming into non-widespread usage in England. Every single one of the many of these chests I&#039;ve seen were mortise and Tenon joints with wood pegs like this one. I do agree that the lid needs further investigation. I have no problem being challenged in fact I welcome it just not with the sarcasm and superior attitude many people come in with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
