Message:: [QUOTE="808 raver, post: 243929, member: 4654"]It's one of those gut feelings I get when looking at a antique, sometimes I'm wrong but on the whole, 95% of the time I manage to pick the well made rare item that other bidders don't see. I will be the first to admit, (especially after reading the knowledgeable people on here's comments) I have a lot to learn and furniture isn't my best subject but I have often spotted pieces such as this COD that sat on ebay for a while before I bought it. It looks very plain and boring but it's a solid teak campaign piece unfortunately missing it's slot in legs but still a rare and sort after piece. Getting back to the bureau, the shaped middle draw reminds me of a Scottish COD's, I can see the grain runs in a different direction on the fall front but that could be the fall front was made in two half's, the outside being wider than the inside? I think the link I posted is about the same age as it's almost the same shape. [ATTACH=full]74774[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]74775[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
