<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 240587, member: 37"]That back piece is most certainly a plywood panel. Note how the grain inside does not match the grain outside. While quartersawn oak plywood is a fairly expensive material, it was likely a scrap that was used here. I also see this marble top as too varied to have been selected for use in an earlier period. While some wild marble was used, it tended to be more homogenous than this. I don't like the color on the hardware, nor scale of the handles. Think they should be larger.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
