<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 1840402, member: 6444&quot;]First of all, most 19th century &quot;hitchcock&quot; chairs that are found these days were made by companies other than Hitchcock back in the 19th century. There were a lot of 19th century companies making and competing with similar chairs, some with turned legs some not, because they were popular and cheap to make in a mass production factory.</p><p><br /></p><p>True that most 19th century factory chairs we see used turned legs, but not all. I showed an example of a commonly seen 19th century side chair using the identical &quot;saber&quot; legs as used on OP chair. See below and compare. If the same leg and stretcher was used in the 19th century, then how does the leg and stretcher lead one to conclude that it can&#039;t be from that time?</p><p><br /></p><p>I have no idea when the OP chair was made. We don&#039;t have adequate pics to make a conclusion as I&#039;ve said before. But based on the design and the pics we&#039;ve seen, it is altogether possible that it is a 19th century US factory made chair. Of course could also be newer or made somewhere else, as I&#039;ve also said all along. But style doesn&#039;t dictate that it is newer - the conclusion about where and when it was actually made should rest on details of construction and wear which we haven&#039;t seen so far.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/upload_2020-3-24_21-12-43-png.242085/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://www.antiquers.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.skinnerinc.com%2Ffull%2F761%2F1110761.jpg&amp;hash=bbecdcc2b9a520008e98b427f5f6664d" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
