<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 170145, member: 25&quot;]Not really that simple. Furniture styles are and were quite international, and US makers would be copying European styles for the same reason American styles influenced so many other countries later in the century. They just thought, &#039;It&#039;s the latest thing in Europe, let&#039;s make some&#039;. And they&#039;d keep making it till some other style popped up on the popular style radar. </p><p><br /></p><p>But a funny thing happened. Europe was wracked with war and revolution in the second decade, so no new styles emerged till the 1920s, hence US makers carried on making stuff that was a bit &#039;old fashioned&#039; for longer than it was made in quantity in Europe.</p><p>Just add the word &#039;Style&#039; to your title, style covers a multitude of sins and blurs dates nicely.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thus your stuff could well be 1920s or even 30s or later in actual manufacture. </p><p><br /></p><p>Carcass wood was usually anything substantially cheaper than the finish veneer, but it is not really important. All it needs to be is stable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just do not expect much money. Old stuff is not fashionable or you would be keen to keep it for yourself and you&#039;d chuck out some modern things to make room for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only stuff that makes any good money is the stuff you do not want to part with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
