<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 723530, member: 6444"]Definitely nicely carved, not pressed. To me the most important question is whether period or not, not so much when a reproduction was made. Your pics aren't very close up, but it sure looks like spline/machine caning to me, which says 20th century. If hole to hole hand caned could be back into late 19th/turn of century. There is wear to the feet so maybe from back then. If you want to pin down the date more precisely, as always a high res pic of the underside and back are the most important pics (which you didn't include).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
