[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 5238340, member: 2844"]To find the origin of your smileys, you'll have to go back to the original Louis Treize chairs. You may even have to go back to the inspiration for the original Louis Treize style, which is Dutch Late Renaissance furniture (both northern and Flemish). When a style is derived from another style, which in turn is derived from yet another style, motifs can change beyond recognition. Which is why you may have to trace the changes during time back to the real origin. I don't know who did the appraisal for Chubb, there are experts and then there are experts. To me it looks like a 19th century Louis Treize Revival chair, but I am not an expert. Could be worth looking into though.[/QUOTE]
