<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LLace, post: 69148, member: 627&quot;]Just by looking at the photo, I would say it looks like a later reproduction. Even if the furniture has been well looked after you would expect to see wear around the drawers from being pulled in and out, especially on the lower edges of both drawers and frame. Also underneath the drawers and the runners. Also look at the joinery, are there dovetails? If so, for this period they would be hand cut, not machined. Machined dovetails started to be used around mid 19th century. So if they are very regular and all the same size and shape, the piece was not made in the 18th century.</p><p>Even if it is repro, it is still very nice and has value, it could still be antique. The Victorians loved copying loads of earlier styles![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
