<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael77, post: 595621, member: 10500&quot;]I did spent several hours looking through 100s of period paintings and did not fine a single piece of art with any chairs like these. I&#039;m inclined to agree with James earlier post; </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #0000ff">&quot;MYTH I SAY! I deal with them all the time!</span></p><p><span style="color: #0000ff">First off, sailing on the high seas was very serious business in the 17th century, hells bells, it&#039;s serious business today. One little slip and that&#039;s THAT! never heard from again.</span></p><p><span style="color: #0000ff">Function RULES in that situation, trust me. 3 leg carved chairs simply don&#039;t fit in, especially ones that need to be &quot;pegged or roped during rough weather&quot;.</span></p><p><span style="color: #0000ff">No qualified people have examined this object, we don&#039;t even know the wood species.</span></p><p><span style="color: #0000ff">There are no period images of this form extant and, THERE SHOULD BE</span></p><p><span style="color: #0000ff">Add all this up, TOTAL MYTH!&quot;</span></p><p><br /></p><p>Almost inclined, but not 100% yet. I guess one is attracted to the shape and form or not. There just seems to be something appealing about it to me.&nbsp; I was hoping someone from Europe&nbsp; was going to comment. I will continue my search. Thanks to those who have explored this with me![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
