After reading cogar's excellent explanation and remembering hosman mentioning Jacobean, I did a little digging and came up with this.  Very similar style and interesting read.

It's pointed out that cushions were a normal part of this type of chair and those without arms for ladies with their petticoats.

Great job sapphire!  Agree cogar and D&b!  Also agree about a close up of the pic about a cushion.  (That can be easily remedied and is okay to be missing in a piece that would be this old....)

DON'T TOUCH THE FINISH  - YOU CANT GET TIME IN A BOTTLE THIS WAY!!!!!!!!!

I personally would get it appraised, hands on, by a professional.  If it is a true Jacobean, or made by a cabinetmaker who copied the famous style in early America.....you could have $$$$$$$$$.

I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!
