<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 4714749, member: 37"]Pegs are still often used in rustic construction like this. I really don't think this is terribly old. I do see some straight saw marks on the underside of the seat and this is often seen as a sign of mid-19th century construction. However, this type of saw was probably used much later in a country setting in Spain (or Mexico), which is the likely origin of your chair. The spindles and finial appear to be machine turned. The chair may be an antique but I think no earlier than late 19th century and possibly on into the 20th.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
