[QUOTE="KRA, post: 2453988, member: 15850"]I took a few more pictures of the chair & settee set. The finish was puzzling me a bit but I might have an idea after taking another look. The finish looks pretty consistent in some areas. [ATTACH=full]265175[/ATTACH] But it looks like someone liked sitting on the right end of the settee and it has affected the finish. [ATTACH=full]265177[/ATTACH] The finish under the back part looks like a slightly different color though. Maybe these have been refinished with some kind of stain that sits on top of the original finish. [ATTACH=full]265178[/ATTACH] The finish on the arms of the chair is also a bit worn. [ATTACH=full]265179[/ATTACH] Here's the underside of the chair. I know these pieces were re-upholstered and it looks like the strapping on the bottom has also been redone. I can't find any markings. [ATTACH=full]265180[/ATTACH] I thought I would get a better shot of the character on the screen. [ATTACH=full]265181[/ATTACH] As I said, the back is shredded. No details on the back either. We're thinking this was probably a modesty screen or some kind of room divider. [ATTACH=full]265182[/ATTACH] The tapestry on the front is also in pretty sad shape.
