<p>[QUOTE=&quot;vintagedownsouth, post: 116912, member: 1594&quot;]Without seeing it in person, it can be hard sometimes to really tell.&nbsp; There are many on this board who are much more knowledgeable than me, but I would say there is some good age to it.&nbsp; I doubt you are looking at 18th century, but early to mid 19th century is a likely possibility.&nbsp; The dovetailing on the drawers is really hard to see.&nbsp; I think I see a thin dovetail pin in the middle of the drawer, which definitely places it before machined dovetails appeared in the late 1800s.&nbsp; The beveling on the bottom of the drawer also is an indicator that you might be looking at a piece pre mid 19th century.&nbsp;&nbsp; The legs appear to be Hepplewhite or Sheraton, but can be a later reproduction of a Hepplewhite or Sheraton piece.&nbsp; These reproductions happened regularly in the US in the early to mid 1800s.&nbsp; If there was a tag/marking on it that identifies it as English, that would tell you a lot.&nbsp; Of course not seeing it in person, I would probably say that it is a later copy of an old piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>regardless, it looks well built and it is beautiful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
