Two old chairs
« on: March 02, 2013, 12:16:45 pm »
I will try this one more time.
My aunt gave me these chairs, I think
they are French carved Victorian.
I would like some help getting information about them.
I have a table and chairs I will need help with at a later
time.
Thanks for any help,
Roger

Chairs are not my forte..apart from the wood that they are made of...i have an insatiable woodburner...that can,t tell the difference between..old or new wood..in whatever shape its in....

Lets wait till I can see the construction !! The upholstered oval back is similar to the Louis XVI style but French provincial leg is more late 1940`s !!~  Its a bit heavy !!

Look like mid 20th repro to me.

I've not seen a period rocker like that before.

Here is a shot of the bottom of one chair.
If you need I could pull the fabric and take some more pictures.
Thanks for the help,

Can you resize the pic down to about 1200 to 1500 KB ??  This one is so big that it is a blur when we enlarge it !!
