<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 256435, member: 37"]Nice chairs. Kind of hard to peg and I think partially because these are less formal chairs. Maybe meant for kitchen use or in a household of less means. Might even have been for more of an institutional use. Not sure they are even American. Kind of have an English regency look about them but not quite. I do think early 19th century. The backs are oak. Looks like some other wood elsewhere. Birch if American. Probably beech if English or Continental.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
