<p>[QUOTE="Drew, post: 335261, member: 3235"]More pieces were being veneered after it became more affordable after the 1840's. It was applied to top, sides drawer fronts. What often happened was over time, veneer became chipped, water damaged, so instead of do a costly and difficult repair, it was stripped off to the base wood, re-stained or clear coated. Surely also may not be veneered as noted, just refinished several times over the past 160 plus years. Either way, it's an honest well made antique chest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
