[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 4502258, member: 6444"]Your pics are all from far away. Can’t see construction details well. Definitely not older than 20th century. Exposed tongue and groove in the seat along with silly opening, so I’m guessing the seat was replaced, and it used to be solid, or upholstered, or ? A good chair maker wouldn’t piece together wood and show exposed t&g like that unless they were making some sort of design statement. But without closeup of bottom underneath, who can say? The back looks strange too, are the spindles a different color? Do they look repainted or replaced? Maybe the spindles are a replacement too, possibly back was upholstered originally also?[/QUOTE]
