<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 68190, member: 37&quot;]I maybe wasn&#039;t clear on my comment about the elaborate waterfall sets being post-war.&nbsp; What I have found is that the earlier sets were generally more elegant and used real wood veneers.&nbsp; The post-war period brought some newer manufacturing techniques and pressure from competition for price points.&nbsp; You began to see more bells and whistles added to sets.&nbsp; This included the use of what appear to be exotic woods for detail as seen in my vanity and in Marko&#039;s nightstand.&nbsp; I know on mine and I am pretty sure on Marko&#039;s, the veneers are fake micro-thin laminate coatings.&nbsp; This is a later detail not seen on earlier sets.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a generalization and I am sure there are exceptions.&nbsp; I am sure there were some high quality all wood sets made post-war and some very elaborate sets made pre-war.&nbsp; I just know that I was surprised to find such a late date on my vanity.&nbsp; My experience is that dealers almost always peg waterfall sets to the 20s and 30s when, in fact, a lot of them are quite a bit later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
