There are some furniture gurus here that can be more helpful I&#039;m sure.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have quite a lot of ladder back chairs, one rather early and the others later 20th C. Around where I am Clore was probably be best known maker of ladder backs (and I have some of those) but I also have some purchased new (at the time) that literally came from a small workshop in the mountains and some that were new from a roadside stand.</p><p><br /></p><p>(Here is a discussion about my old one)</p><p><a href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/old-ladder-back-armchair-repair-help-age.31490/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiquers.com/threads/old-ladder-back-armchair-repair-help-age.31490/">https://www.antiquers.com/threads/old-ladder-back-armchair-repair-help-age.31490/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
