<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Darkwing Manor, post: 4421686, member: 738&quot;]Based only on the style of the ball and claw, I would guess it&#039;s a 19th century rendition. The 18th century ones, regardless of region, were much more delicate and refined. The first image below is a Newport 1700s example, on the right a known c. 1900 piece. The smack-me-upside-the head best way to see the differences is to go look at the actual 18th century pieces in museums. It&#039;s really obvious in person. <a href="https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/chip/hd_chip.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/chip/hd_chip.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/chip/hd_chip.htm</a>. BUT, although a student of, I am not a connoisseur of 18th century American furniture. Where is [USER=5066]@James Conrad[/USER]? Either way, it&#039;s quite a nice chair. The needlework on the seat alone is valuable.&nbsp; $400 seems reasonable to me. [ATTACH=full]377292[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]377294[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
