    My latest desk chair. :) Acquired in Michigan, USA. I thought it rather unusual-looking.
    Would this be called a spool or spindle or bobbin chair? I'm not aware of the differences. Age? I was thinking 1930s/40s but possibly older? 50-ish seller said it had been her grandmother's and thought she may possibly have stitched the needlepoint seat, but didn't know anything else. Type of wood? Origin?
    As always, thanks for any help!

    Thanks! I thought it a good addition to my spare room.

    No idea, maybe someone else here will be able to answer that. (The possibility had occurred to me, too. I'm glad you asked.)
