<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 125274, member: 36"]I don't know about those brass knobs, but that inlay is straight up Arts and Crafts. Charles Rennie Macintosh would have loved it. The upholstry doesn't really "go" but it's in good shape. That chair could be 100 years old with no problem, if not older. I'm betting the brass wasn't that color originally; someone may have polished it a bit too much over the years. The design of the wood could be straight out of the 1950s, but not with that inlay. It's enough to make you want to spank the manufacturer; someone should have signed that![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
