<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Darkwing Manor, post: 2259715, member: 738&quot;]I believe this chair form has been a popular export or tourist trade item since the late Victorian period. There is a great variety in the design variations and level of carving skill , although the form always follows a basic plan. It appears the majority are Japanese, but I have seen alleged Chinese examples posted. Honestly, I have always struggled with telling the difference in most Asian decorative arts. There are some tutorials posted on how to tell the difference, such as the number of toes a dragon has, but this may be nonsense.&nbsp; We do have some experts on the list. I hope they will stop by.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
