<p>[QUOTE="laura9797, post: 4277509, member: 9323"]One way to tell age is the nailheads used although bench-made furniture can still be made that way. I have seen many pieces - mostly English - that have been made to look old with square nail heads only to see newer construction elsewhere. When I compare the cupboard doors on the base to the example James listed above, I see a newer cupboard versus yours. The bead board back versus yours which appears to be newer as well. Also the locks versus the primitive hardware yours has. Love this piece a lot!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
