Find old books showing common furniture of the place where you think this originated. That will often have similar markings. A lot of American furniture was chip carved by traveling carvers who did the diamond point chiseling on a lot of farm cabinets, beds, and furniture. There are likely to be general books on the old techniques and patterns for simple decorating of wood.
