[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 1250764, member: 5066"]lol, How come? To get a little break on forum i am guessing! as i can't prattle on about old furniture when traveling!:hilarious: Yes, it LOOKS that way to me as well however, photographs lie about furniture, not sure why exactly but details that are easily seen in person often elude the camera. You see it A LOT in Pennsylvania German furniture during the 18th century. A dowel goes thru that hole into the side of table which also has a hole, it makes the top removable. I'd guess your table above is more likely German, it has the heavy construction which is typical of german built furniture plus those holes/removable top thingy confirms germanic construction. BTW, if table base does not have holes, I'd guess a marriage.[/QUOTE]
