<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ajmst6, post: 207984, member: 3934&quot;]Bought this set of parlor chairs that I think make beautiful dining chairs. I just can&#039;t tell if they&#039;re old or &quot;new old&quot;. I really don&#039;t want to disassemble them, but I can tell you they have black horsehair stuffing, with rather large metal springs compressed by what looks like wide burlap strips along the underside of the seat portion. Small curved (and blued--don&#039;t understand the necessity of blued nails) nails hold the upholstery taut, but the lace trim looks to be glued (possible that they have been reupholstered). The woodwork appears hand-carved due to slight imperfections and malaligned notching. Not so much interested in value, but I really want to know a little more about potential origins and details of the furniture. Any help that can be rendered would be greatly appreciated!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
