<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 473025, member: 738"]I agree, a mid-to late 19th century revival piece. The stretchers and leg turnings are simpler and less graceful than the early versions, the lower ones do not have the nice cut-out details, and the seat is much deeper, probably to accommodate the 19th century tied-coil type of support system. The lion face does not seem to reflect the quirkiness of the earlier ones, it looks more realistic. As mentioned, saw marks, fasteners and type of joinery will definitely settle the matter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
