<p>[QUOTE="ladyfromphiladelphia, post: 2685424, member: 16411"]As James C. has said, you have a nineteenth century "fancy chair", and a real bargain! They were super popular in the 1820s and '30s, and even after they went out of fashion, I suspect people tucked them away in attics because they were too pretty to part with. Notice the faux wood graining (rosewood effect, I think) that sets off the gold decoration so well. As James C. says, it has that elegant Baltimore look. Nice find![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
