[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 1823915, member: 5066"]Yeah, impossible to tell with just this these 2 photographs. Agree they don't match, the chair on the right is different. They are early 18th century ladder/slat back style, i doubt they are period. More likely 19th-20th century reproductions. I would add, you can buy handmade chairs built by Master Chairmakers, built just like in the old days, very fine chairs but, they will cost you. For 1 thing, to have 5 chairs (leaving odd duck on right out of discussion) that match would be very rare. Also the ball feet, they do not look like 3 centuries of wear, not even close. Daniel, you are in Arizona? Where online did you see them, what did description say? It would be very helpful if you give all info you have on hand in 1st post. BINGO! That would be me, although i do venture out sometimes when something on home page catches my eye on way to furniture forum. It's rare but, it does happen!:p[/QUOTE]
