<p>[QUOTE="Irenka, post: 4309905, member: 18829"]Hello i am very confused at this moment. I have this armchair that i bought in Italy. I am researching it at the moment and i get many confusing information. It could be lambing chair from England or it could be armchair with a salt chest? i am really confused because lambing chairs were made with big side wings and in majority they dont have open back, because of the draft.. but the other possibility -armchair with salt chest- i dont get any information if they really exist, i know that russians have silver salt chests that are looking like armchairs but yes they are not really armchairs. The chair is made very "primitive" - which i like very much, it looks it was made by someone that didnt have much experience -or tools- with making furniture. It must be some what old, i am hoping that it is from circa 1750 - 1850. It has wooden pins and it has no metal nails. I would really like to hear what you all think about this armchair.. What do you all think about the age of the armchair and the real purpose of it?</p><p>Oh and the measurmants: h: 95cm/37in w: 57cm/22in d: 48cm/18in</p><p>Thank you all.</p><p> [ATTACH=full]350410[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]350411[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]350412[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]350413[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]350414[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
