It's a side chair for sitting in.
Pops , i think what they are asking for is like what manufacturer made this chair and the history:) lol:)
Oh? Really? Silly me.
Put your hand in this bag and tell me what it's worth. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !
wow:), come now pops be a little nice :) lol:) and have a great day pops:)
very beautiful chair:)
Well Pop you fit right in with the information you provided. It makes things much easier. I have a really good lead on the value of that bag. Did you happen to get her name?
Not a side chair, an end chair for Dad or Mom. Looks like a Federal period chair also known as Empire period. If it's a period piece it's betweem 1830ish and 1850ish depending on where it was made. The lighter wooded pegs in the front legs are later fixes. Hard to say whether the caning id correct without seeing better detailed pictures. Could be much later as the style has been done after the period.
Thank you everyone for your help, especially pops....really useful.
Love your chair, and love to watch pops make A of himself. Thanks for sharing your chair with us.
