<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 2774261, member: 37"]The thing is, we don't find your evidence convincing. This kind of furniture has been made continuously for a couple hundred years. Dovetails are still cut by hand and Indonesian workshops are turning furniture out of all kinds of quality today. I spoke to what I saw in your pictures. This does not look like hundred year old mahogany to me and is similar to plantation mahogany being used today. The hardware on your chest is also not convincing. I would love to be proven wrong but have not seen evidence to convince me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
