<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 376330, member: 37"]When we say fairly modern around here, it still could mean 50-70 years of age. Anything post-1950 is fairly modern when it comes to furniture. Even imports from the 70s-80s have 35-45 years of age to them by now. Most chairs were made without screws or nails, regardless of age. That jute seat is typical of post WWII chairs from Scandinavia and, later, the Eastern Block countries. Not typical for American or Western European chairs. </p><p><br /></p><p>Doesn't mean this couldn't be an older chair. I am just providing my observation about this chair based on what I know. If I have any expertise, it is in late 19th and 20th century American furniture. I also spent a fair amount of time in the furniture business in the 80s-90s so have observed the import market a bit. There is much that falls outside my realm of expertise and would be happy to learn more about this chair if this is the case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
