[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 327828, member: 84"]I found this beauty at a local thrift store this morning - I grabbed it as soon as it came out, thinking I just found a old, chinese corner chair. But looking at it while photographing it I saw shields with crosses on each back rest! I'm pretty sure the Chinese didn't carve/put crosses on their furniture at any point! It also has 1 ball & claw foot with the other 3 being pretty plain square legs What do I have here? Where is it from? What year/era? Note: It appears to be tongue n groove construction: the only nails are from the brass tacks that come out at the bottom of the seat.
