Yep, and some sellers seem unreasonable with their asking prices, also,
like these folks:

At that price, it better not have (which looks, to me, like) replacement
shelves and they better have and state a known/accomplished maker's name,
as provenance. It was originally posted about a week or so ago and the
description and other wording has been changed..... one aspect being that
they claim to have paid more, than the asking price. Altered posting, as
that, IMO, are red flags.


I assume ".... 19" in debth" is a misspelling/misnomer, but maybe not....

.... hence the asking price.

18th century isn't 1800-1830 either... It seems too good and clean to be 200
years old. Perhaps it is a more recent piece made in the style?
