<p>[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 1532303, member: 29"]It would be a reasonably native or locally grown wood, which cypress wasn't. Pine with deal shelving is likely. If it was ever painted white, it was done far later, but it simply looks stripped and limed - later - to me. The front shaping is typical of country late Georgian here and in Ireland. Would have been stained and varnished to look like a more costly timber.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
