<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James Conrad, post: 580141, member: 5066&quot;]Hmmmmm,not a clue. Very odd chair in that it has 3 legs but not turned, I have never seen a period 3 leg chair that wasn&#039;t turned. To my knowledge it is not known why or what exactly is the story on 3 leg chairs. It&#039;s a european oddity, there are no known examples of 17th century american 3 leg chairs which suggests they were not functional &amp; built to perhaps show off the chair makers (turners) skills.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hmmmmm, this story doesn&#039;t make much sense to me, a sailing ship that rocks with ocean waves &amp; a 3 leg chair that is notoriously unstable?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
