<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 111475, member: 44&quot;]I also would call it a Lady&#039;s Parlor chair. Even though this chair isn&#039;t in a typical Victorian style, during Victorian times lady&#039;s parlor chairs usually didn&#039;t have arms. Chair arms crushed their wide dresses with many petticoats. They wanted their huge dresses to spread out fully to be seen. This chair does have a splat up the back but also a lower rail. The &quot;crest&quot;, decorative, on the top rail, has sort of an Eastlake style feel as well of course Edwardian.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are couple of useful sites on chair elements:</p><p><a href="http://www.buffaloah.com/f/glos/chairs/terms/terms.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.buffaloah.com/f/glos/chairs/terms/terms.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.buffaloah.com/f/glos/chairs/terms/terms.html</a></p><p><a href="http://www.buffaloah.com/f/glos/chairs/styles/chairstyles.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.buffaloah.com/f/glos/chairs/styles/chairstyles.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.buffaloah.com/f/glos/chairs/styles/chairstyles.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
