The dovetailing technique is called “pin and cove,” and it is almost always found on this authentic cottage furniture. Many years ago I found a piece or so in about every other estate I tried to buy. But nowadays, it’s becoming very scarce. And child size furniture?! Fugetaboutit! Those danged collectors snapped most of it up a long time ago.
