<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 332194, member: 37"]Chairs appear to be beech or, possibly, some type of fruit wood. not walnut. Definitely hand carved. Style is basically French but something about the shape of the back and form of the crest carving says un-French to me. Can't really delineate my thoughts beyond that. Never heard of dating furniture from the caning as suggested but maybe that is possible. The nuances of European furniture is really not my forte' so would bow to those with more expertise.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
