[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 595505, member: 5066"]I looked yesterday on Met site, they are described as Italian, 14th-15th century. Thing is, to my knowledge, no one that is qualified has actually looked into these chairs, they were gifts and simply repeating what the gift giver was told doesn't make it so. The bottom line in all this is, are there period images in Italian, Spanish, Netherlands fine art or any other european country? If there is then it's possible they are period chairs, if no period images exist then this is a problem that can't be explained away with "folklore".[/QUOTE]
