<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 9496827, member: 37"]Empire revival circa 1910. The wood underneath will be solid but not good wood. It may even be a patchwork of scrap woods. The veneer fixes I see are, mostly, not too difficult. New veneers will not match well so you should try to find some old pieces somewhere. I sometimes harvest veneers from a piece itself. If there are veneers anywhere that do not show, perhaps you can cut some out for your repairs. For example, is the back edge of the top veneered? The patch in the middle of the door will be the hardest to repair. Be sure to find something good and flat that can be loaded with quite a bit of weight to apply pressure when gluing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
