<p>[QUOTE="Francisco G Kempton, post: 4289503, member: 22714"]Is this european or American. I am guessing America as the feet are unusual and not something I have encountered and I am european, but i do not have an extensive knowledge of all the chair types and i am just learning. If I may hazard a guess, this chair is late 19th century/20th century and later and was made in America, it is mass manufactured or the base is older and the legs were fitted later. Th elegs look to be fitted mid 20th century later, Maybe have a closer look, examine the nails, and or see if it has screws, check if the nails are handmade or manufactured, check to see if the chair is machined or handmade. Looks machined so at least late 19th century. Failing that cheack the under side of the feet back and front and see how worn they are, see if there is a different wear to the front and back. Some better pictures would help as these are not good quality. There are some experts here that cna tall what this chair is when it was made but a better picture would help. 1908 is my best guess but the front legs?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
