[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 959574, member: 2844"]Wait a minute, Aqui's guess was 1800 or newer. Jeff's chair bears closest resemblance to the chair Brad posted, which was said to be English, early 20th century. Brad thinks Jeff's chair is possibly an American copy of the English one, so slightly later at the earliest. Where it was made still seems to be a mystery. Sure, early 20th century is covered by the 'newer' in Aqui's '1800 or newer'.;) Sort of. Ish.:shifty: But others named a date closer to early 20th century: - evelyb mentioned 1890, with motivation, the wear on the feet which was more consistent with her estimate than with an earlier date. - busryde guessed late 19th-early 20th century. - cluttered guessed possibly WWI and said later "It might be as late as the 20s early 30s." - Brad had already mentioned 1890 before he found the early 20th century English chair. In all fairness, they were all closer to the mark than Aqui was. Sorry Aqui.:( (I will now flagellate myself :sorry:)[/QUOTE]
