<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 4402921, member: 738"]That name inscription looks like a post-factory add-on. Perhaps it was assembled by a home woodworker. The seat is drilled for hand-woven cane. Machine-woven caning sheets became available in the 1870s so your chair might date before then. Not that hand-caning completely disappeared after 1870, but it definitely dropped away.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
