The top was taken off and re-attached and there is a small patch put in, (probably from a knot that loosened up). This was done probably in the early 19th century. The four corner rose head nails appear original and there are a couple of added 19th century and later nails added.
Also when the piece was refinished, Circa 1880-1900, they put some nails in from the top of the aprons into the top to help secure it.

THERE ARE TRACES OF THE OLD 19TH CENTURY GRAIN PAINT THROUGHOUT.
