Hi all, thank you for your replies,On closer inspection,it would appear that it is as you have all said,it is not old,the wood is in my opinion,a veneer,that has been laid over a base carcass,the joints on the drawers are re-bated butt,there are no makers marks,the copper inserts,are real copper 1.2mm thick,they have been made using 3 parts,and the corner joints have been folded over,I did some searching last night,and from what i found,it may be a Planter Table,...although an old friend,suggested that maybe the inserts were for putting ice in,to keep bottle,s of wine cold,...but after a more detailed inspection of the inserts,i would discount this theory, as the joints, are not water tight,my gut feeling is,..it is perhaps of far eastern origin,...Burmese?,...Indonesian?,i will keep searching and if i do find one or anything that,s similar, i will let you know,
