<p>[QUOTE="AntiqueAnnie, post: 494264, member: 5464"]Thank you all who commented on the table and allowed me to figure out it's a repro! See, that's why you all are great! It didn't even cross my mind that it was a repro, I kept jumping at the store thinking "Whoa! Found me an antique table for $9"! Lol! I'd love to know how did you all figured it was a repro? Is it the hardware that shows could be holding the pieces together? I'll keep this in mind next time I'm hunting, it's always good to know how to spot reproductions!</p><p><br /></p><p>Question about repros.. so basically, this would be considered an imitation of an original antique? Something that was recently designed perhaps even with different parts? </p><p><br /></p><p>If I was to alter this and let's say paint it..how would I describe it? Would I still include the word vintage instead in the description? Or is it that with repros you never really know, because the parts could be actually new mixed with old etc?</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for all the questions! Just trying to understand how exactly do repros in antique/vintage items work.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]163104[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]163105[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
