[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 256493, member: 85"]I have always thought, with nothing to back it up, that these caned chairs with the turned outward legs dated to about 1880s. Part of the first production chairs, notice the stretchers and the legs. I've always called them parlor or side chairs. In doing google image searches, I keep finding that this style chair leg is attributed to the French. Searching for French caned chairs, I can't find support for that. I'm also finding that this caned chair with these legs were often Japaned (lacquered). I think the prices being asked are a little high. A starting point anyway.
