What are the unique characteristics found on furniture from India, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, etc., that you look for, and that make you go, &quot;Oh! That has to be 1960s Burma!&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it wood color? Carving method? Joints method? Metalwork?</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it even possible, or is it just approximation, since many of southeast Asian countries share the same trees?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
