[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 4332838, member: 1136"]It reminds me of the old side by side secretary's. The bowed wood pieces could have originally been drawer faces, but they do look to be on the thinner side, so if the maker knew what he was doing, he could have easily known how to bend them, but then why go through the trouble and not make the top and bottom more proportionate? The glass also looks "short". I'm wondering if the original piece had a chipped corner, but Im not sure if it's possible to cut down bowed glass (I can't cut straight glass to save my life :rolleyes:). Im also wondering if the glass was from one of the double side by sides that tended to be shorter anyways. [ATTACH=full]356600[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]356601[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
