<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 563640, member: 6444&quot;]Ah, yes I know about draw-bore joints. So you&#039;re looking for pegs. But I disagree that draw-bore joint was always used prior to 1840. I agree to look for it in 18th century furniture, but early 19th century furniture often lacked pegs - especially in a small piece where the stresses were much less and the joinery was well enough made that there were no huge gaps as shown in your example (which is a poorly made mortise and tenon). Here&#039;s an 1815-1825 signed Boston Museum Fine Arts table (obviously different than mine so I&#039;m not suggesting mine is comparable except in lacking pegged joints):</p><p><img src="https://mfas3.s3.amazonaws.com/objects/C32815.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
