<p>[QUOTE="emily ann, post: 67933, member: 787"]I'm going to go take more pictures of it. I would have to say that it is hand carved because i see tool marks on and around the carvings. I don't know exactly what type of clear coat was used but it pretty much dissolves with spit. sorry gross i know. Growing up in san diego and seeing the old missions and the furniture there. I am pretty sure it is not mexican although it could have been shipped to mexico from europe. My best friends mom knows a lot about antiques and she says she thinks it could be a french parlor chair or a library chair. But she has never seen anything exactly like it. I am going to take the dust cover off and see if the wood is marked anywhere. the fabric is not original because it is covering a good portion of some of the carving. the wood under is a beautiful dark wood.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
