I used to have a job right after college in an antique furniture repair place. We fixed them and refinished them, but didn't know a damn thing about provenance or value.
My friend who I sent the photos to started out in a antique restoration shop and was given a highboy with a missing drawer. The owner told him to match the drawer. After fifteen years there the owner would hand a drawer and tell him to make the highboy.

He's very very good, he's made a lot of antiques.
