[QUOTE="WoodworM, post: 5202608, member: 79025"]Hello everyone. I wanted to share with you one of my pieces. It is a late 18th century armchair in the Louis XIII style. Reupholstered in early 1970's. Besides the heavily fluted arms, this chair does not seem too different from many others; however, there is a carving upon the reverse scroll at the top of each arm that I've always found peculiar. As a child growing up, I always viewed them as happy faces. Perhaps one of you may have come across such a carving. It would be great to know it's significance. Thanks.
