<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 1014792, member: 8363"]Jeff. It's going to cost about $350, I think. The thing is even if I paid $500 to fly across the country to see the chair, I wouldn't have known what to look for when I got there. James pointed out some features such as the wooden pegs holding the seat and the skinny back legs, but as I mentioned in my original text, I don't have the knowledge to make the decision based on the furniture. (You should see my "antique" console table that has a zip code sticker at the back of the drawer.) It was my decision to rely on the provenance. Over the months, James kept me from making poor choices as I became enamored with various chairs. The only other one I actually bid on, which had similar but deeper provenance, went for more than 5 times what I paid for this one. I read your posts with interest and find much valuable information in them, so you helped in ways you don't realize. Kiko[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
