A few details I’d like to share while waxing in the showroom..

I waxed up this side table in showroom today. While doing so I noticed a few details I thought to share.
Both front bun-feet are original, both rare replaced around 100 years ago.
Turned exactly the same, only a couple of hundred years later. The ware and borer damages make this clear.
Also the V-shaped supports, below each side of X-stretcher, having chamfered sides to hide their existence (so very well done)
Note: more photos of details on my website.
