[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9489307, member: 2844"]There is a huge difference between folk furniture and many museum pieces. If you visit small village churches in Europe, for instance, you can come across simply made, sometimes crude furniture. Good honest pieces, full of character. I think that is the case. Imo a genuine antique, but made from even older pieces. Some of the wood was probably stained to match older wood. Often people had to work with what they had. Circumstances could be dire, but they still had bits and pieces of furniture that a craftsperson could make into a useful and even decorative piece of furniture. I agree with the possibility of a Spanish or Spanish Colonial origin.[/QUOTE]
