I'm curious, Mart.  Apparently you've seen this style of furniture before?  It makes sence to me that it would be from the 40s or 50s.  I think if looks like Maple too.  Do you have any idea of who the manufacture is?

I'm also just remembering that the original upholstery might have been a tapestry or maybe needlepoint - something like that, with some texture to it.

I'm so sorry.  I know these are bad photos but the pieces are at our cottage in Michigan right now and I'm in California and these are all I have right now.  If you click on the picture and then zoom in you can see the carvings on the settee a little better.  It looks like vines and grapes or berries that are cut out as opposed to carved in to the piece.  Sorry I don't know the right terminology.

Hi everyone.  I inherited this set and I can't figure out the period or style of this chair.  I believe it might be a late 19th century style but also not sure if they are reproduction or antique.  I thought maybe Eastlake or a variation but haven't come across anything similar online. Can someone out there help me? (don't worry - they are not still sitting in the garage!) Thanks.
