<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drew, post: 339697, member: 3235&quot;]Yes, one needs to put emotion aside when looking at a lovely &quot;antique&quot;. If I remember the Brewster chair story correctly - the forger set out to fool the museum because he had been kicked out for telling the museum they had more then a few fakes on display. . he painstakingly made the chair, had a friend sell it to them. I guess this was his way of proving he was smarter then curators. In the end, the chair seemed so correct, the only way to prove it fake was highly detailed x-rays picked up the wrong shape of drilled mortises - he had used 19th century drill bits, not 17th century bits !&nbsp; The museum kept the chair - using it as a lesson example for the public..
