<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dhruv Chevli, post: 4613994, member: 78685&quot;]I have a genuine interest in early oak antiques, mainly from the 17th century. But earlier ones have caught my attention also.</p><p><br /></p><p>I certainly do not have any experience to assess age etc. I just got into the early oak antiques. I recently ordered &quot;Oak Furniture: The British Tradition&quot; just arrived today and will be spending some time on that including some other books I&#039;ll be ordering, and thanks for your book recommendation.</p><p><br /></p><p>I concur with you in the fact that one should analyse an antique in person, which I would like to undertake. A couple of months ago I visited a few old English manor houses (medieval, 16th century, 17th century) and found many early oak antiques there. In addition to your advice, perhaps in my exercise to learn more about these kinds of antiques I could go back and actually study them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Are most of the early oak antiques we see online fakes? Even if the seller has good certifications like LAPADA? I&#039;m talking about websites like &quot;<a href="http://www.sellingantiques.co.uk" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.sellingantiques.co.uk" rel="nofollow">www.sellingantiques.co.uk</a>&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for your invaluable input[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
