<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 144581, member: 37"]Certainly in the style of the Shaker ladderbacks but don't think the details are right for this to be Shaker. Certainly an antique chair that has seen better days. Really hard to say how old this is since chairs like this have been made for more than a couple hundred years. It could be 200 years old and showing its age or 100 years old and not very well kept. It does look like someone has attempted to resurrect this at some point. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am not sure how you could pin this to circa 1830. I would be interested in the thought process that arrived at that date. I do think probably American but this is really not my area of expertise. I would say that it might be worth having someone with better knowledge take a look but the condition issues will damper any enthusiasm experts would have for this. For what it is worth, I think you could safely say it's a 19th century primitive country ladderback.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
