[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 1225301, member: 5066"]Well, that's the WHOLE THING there, isn't it!:cigar: Unless it's a 17th century American "pilgrim century" (1620-1720) piece, there IS NO oak in American furniture until 1900 or so. Americans dropped oak like a BAD HABIT! during the william & mary period (1690-1730) and never returned to it until the Arts & Craft/Mission period in 1900. Bottom Line? If it's 18th-19th century and it's oak? It ain't American, simple as that. Ain't Life Grand?!:joyful:[/QUOTE]
