<p>[QUOTE="ScareBear, post: 169550, member: 2854"]I did my reading, and I was wrong. Apparently that really is a genuine antique. The lathe required for your piece was already in the industry by 1870. You're the first to bust me, I read early 1900s before. Your chair is actually probably a boast of it's precision, probably 1870-1900. Your antique is bona fide trusted. I knew of the rendering, I knew of the rotary crank spindle, I knew of workshops with workers, but the automatic lathe was actually achieved in this time. I didn't see this chair being economically nor labor efficient until around the 30s nor surgically precise and symmetric. You learn something new every day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
