[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 4433836, member: 6444"]Definitely later copies, not period mid 1700s. Looks either mahogany or stained to look like mahogany. I think 20th century, but not a factory piece. Instead either made by a custom builder, or possibly from a home workshop by a dedicated and skilled home hobbyist who hand carved the legs and veneered the top. If you can figure out the writing underneath, it may point to which of those possibilities is more likely. If forced to guess I would think more mid 20th century when patterns for reproductions were in books and magazines, and reproductions more closely followed original designs.[/QUOTE]
