<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9751722, member: 10944"]Found a guy giving away what turned out to be 17th century Irish grandfather clock. It was taken already unfortunately. I decided to see what else he had and he gave me this table. Very kind of him. I was thinking it may be quite old too, and of a similar origin. I drove to get it and realized it has the dowel/rod construction. I believe Brad told me that is specific to a very short era exclusively. Like maybe 1880’s or so? I’m not sure if I would have thought it had an Irish or Scottish look if the clock had not pointed me in that direction. However turns out it does have an old British train sticker on it. Staplehurst to Charing, just outside of London to the south. So the origin theory could hold true. Anywho I don’t do furniture much and would love opinions. It looks well older than 1880’s to me but that time Brad or grasshopper mentioned that dowel technique is sticking in my head. Hopefully we can clear that up. This looks a good 100 years or so older to me. Maybe older. Quite a freebie. It’s spring cleaning season and I’ve gotten a ton of free goodies already. Keep your eyes open folks! </p><p><br /></p><p>Btw I love the quaint little brasses on this table. He also gave me a sweet men’s vanity mirror on drawers for a dresser top or maybe on top of this table. A very well made one at that.
