<p>[QUOTE="Sedona, post: 3264734, member: 4438"]Hello, everyone. I found this unrestored vintage armchair in the back of a furniture store. If I buy it, it’s going to be very expensive to reupholster (with the arms and the full back), so I want to see if it’s worth doing. The salesman said it’s antique (specifically 19th century). The feet are similar to other chairs I’ve seen, but the Jacobean/barley twists are thicker than what I’ve seen. Also, I’ve never seen a carved ball shape on the arms like that.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you think? English? Is the wood walnut, oak, or something else? I apologize for the rotated photos. My camera was straight up when I took the photo, and they are all right sided up on my screen.</p><p><br /></p><p>It’s roughly 41” tall by 27” wide by 26” deep.
