<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 10134133, member: 37"]Would agree with a late 19th century date, on into the early 20th century. Can imagine it could have been made virtually unchanged for a decade or two. Would think this a premium model based on styling. As such, there were probably fewer made than more standard models. I really think this is birch with a stain to mimic mahogany. While some office chairs could have been made of cherry, it is not a standard choice for such. It is probably considered too soft and most were made in oak or birch. Milwaukee Chair was one of the larger makers of such chairs and I really don't see them working in cherry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
