[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 912593, member: 5066"]Hey Mike, this style/era of furniture just isn't in my wheelhouse, Brad & Ghopper handle this furniture quite a bit, ghopper collects it i think so is most likely correct on date. I did a quick google based on Ghopper post the other day and the only thing that was even close was a "sleepy hollow" chair, Karpen made a line of these chairs in late 19th early 20th century. Not the same form as yours but has carved griffins & leather so perhaps an imitator of Karpen as ghopper suggests.
