<p>[QUOTE="Adrian Lewis, post: 2706579, member: 12565"]I cede your point re my mis-quote, in earnest, of an "American" furniture article and apologise for the mistake, as it was a sub article on an American website ad I really should have verified the source. My downfall in identifying this piece as American came from assuming the possible origins in the OP when the price quoted was "$600" and not reading entirely a subsequent post where the OP stated that the piece was sitting in Germany. Thus, and wrongly, my mind has been set on "English or American" origin and apologise again for presenting an incorrect but totally honest in intention argument. I must therefore revert to something I mentioned in a previous post where I consulted a Dutch born American friend in the US antiques trade (even older than I am) who suggested it was probably a Dutch copy of an English piece. Still learning about American furniture and you spurred me on to investigating American furniture construction more thoroughly and came upon this fascinating delightful article. <a href="https://www.antiquetrader.com/collecting-101/house-leads-pondering-18th-century" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquetrader.com/collecting-101/house-leads-pondering-18th-century" rel="nofollow">https://www.antiquetrader.com/collecting-101/house-leads-pondering-18th-century</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
