<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 584337, member: 6444&quot;]I think the Christie&#039;s listing may shed some light here, and support James&#039; belief that this may not be of the period, at least that is the way I read it. From the listing &quot;A DUTCH COLONIAL CAPTAIN&#039;S CHAIR - DATED 1621&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Dutch colonial covers a large time period, and stating &quot;dated 1621&quot; is not the same as stating &quot;early 17th century&quot;, which would imply they agree with the dating. In my experience you have to read auction listings pretty carefully.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had my doubts from the pictures here too, though inclusion in the book is the best evidence that it may be period. Do we know when the book was published - oh I see 2011, so after it was auctioned at Christies. I think it may still be inconclusive. In addition to Isacker, it would be smart for the owner to talk to the author of the book.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
