[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 584193, member: 2844"]Mumble, mumble, tag AJ, mumble mumble.:D Ok, here is a translation of the text in the Dutch book. The caption to the left of the chair reads: "Ship's chair, Middelburg, Nutwood, Date 1621, Dimensions unknown." A ship's chair would be a captain's chair, except they were not just used by the captains.:) "Here we would also like to describe a rare ship's chair which is in a private collection. This armchair stand on three legs so it can be stable on rocking ship. The back leg consists of a straight post to which the back and seat are attached. The bent front legs have the same volute shape halfway up the inside as the church chairs and the folding chair described above. The back, which continues in the arm rests, is made of two flat, bent parts which are attached to two straight front posts and the extended back leg...." Taking a bit of a rest now, to be continued.....[/QUOTE]
