<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 203375, member: 37"]I can't read the signature but an antique one would likely be unsigned. I just don't see the quality or apparent age signs for this to be antique. This is not even an attempt at a reproduction. Even recently made tables can be made to look antique. This company specializes in just such furniture. Some of it may be old or from recycled wood and parts. You just can't count on it being old despite the look.
