[QUOTE="BettyRubble, post: 9849108, member: 85146"]Wild speculation here, 100% hunch. Anyone else feeling a little puzzled by the photos of the finish, grain, and figure? Pic#13 especially. You can see the figure of tree rings UNDER long, nearly black streaks, streaks that don’t quite agree with the figure underneath. Doesn’t look exactly like wood grain. At least to me, on my phone, sitting on my sofa. I have the irrational urge to call this faux finish. Which was very popular in the 19th C, especially in Europe. could there be another grain and figure under the finish we see? Will gladly take correction. Thx[/QUOTE]
