[QUOTE="Ukupholsterme, post: 115364, member: 1659"]No unfortunately there's something pretty nasty spilled onto it that has left only slight marks after thorough cleaning but there is a noticeable odour. Sorry for the terrible picture quality. I can take some more today. The chair appears to be made of a dark wood but at some point in its life has been painted in white, then very shoddily in black afterward. The castors are brass with black enamel wheels (which have also been half painted black, what someone thought they knew they were doing I don't know!!). I can't see an apparent makers mark but with two layers of paint on top of whatever finish below, it may be hidden underneath. Can anyone tell me more about the carvings? All examples I have seen seem to be turned, but this is very straight and square in appearance. Thanks for your response all, great to have such a knowledgeable bunch of people. Megan x[/QUOTE]
