<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 195497, member: 37"]I said it has had some work done. In particular, what you are calling a molding is what I referred to as a later adaptation with double hinges and bar (vertical wood piece). This is not typical of old furniture and was done so that the doors would swing all the way back. This is usually done for TV conversions so that might be what was done here. The nails in the back do look newer and I guess would correspond to a shelf inside. We probably need to see the interior to see what is going on. I could be convinced that this is not old but that wood, carving, dovetails, condition of the wood on the back, and lock all look old to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
