How old is this chair ? English?

How old is this chair ? Was it worth it?

 

this is not a site for getting values , unless a member cares to speculate , because there are just too many unknowns to comment on a fair market price.

 

How much did you pay for it, Kaiserpoo, assuming you actually bought it.

 

Was it worth what? What did you have to pay, or go through, to get it?
Again, please post all images as full size, not thumbnails.

 

I mean how old is it. First time seeing the type of support

 

It's been recovered a few times if it's an old one. The bottom looks pretty old to me, but I'm not an expert.

 

I brought it 40$ at thrift shop on long island ny. When you click on the image it should be full size. I can’t really date it There is no screws I can find just nails holding the chair together

 

Has coil springs and some kind of metal ribbed support brace Guess it’s after 1830

 

When you click on the image it should be full size.......

How about before you post....'you' click on Full IMAGE.......

so we don't be having to do extra steps to see what's there?

You want our help......for free..... then help us a little....with better descriptions and full sized images !

 

Looks first half of the 20th century to me. Happy to be proven wrong.

My bad did know how to put it at full image before

 

What I'd like to know is where you're shopping that you're consistently coming across pretty nice old pieces... I work at a secondhand furniture store and you've more antique furniture in the past week than I have in the past 6 months!

 

somewhere on Long Island..

 

Oh yea...they appear to just be run of the mill thrift stores though not flea markets or anything. Just judging by photos I could be wrong. Not that I never find anything neat at thrift stores...but...wow

 

Thanks. I thought about that. I think NY and FL are lucky there are so many diverse people from all over the world bring in different artifacts over the last 200 yrs.

 

I found horse hair in it tho. Will take better pictures tomorrow

 

Could be as early as 1865, though hard to tell from these pics. I don't see anything particularly English about this. There is some French detailing but could just as well be American.

 

I have to admit to liking that bright green velvet.

 

. What do you think? That kind of material is that?

 

That looks like blood. Sure there was a story behind that stain lol. Anyone know a good way to get blood off upholstery o_o
