<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 408594, member: 36"]Welcome Derek! The straw is probably original; it's what they used back when the chair was new. It's also probably a dust bomb. As someone else said, Eastlake chair so late Victorian (1880-something probably). This will look great with a funky upholstery job. The original was probably a darker velvet, but I've seen them done in mud cloth and Ikat; these chairs aren't currently desirable, so you can do whatever you want.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
