<p>[QUOTE="Rogerg, post: 335800, member: 6871"]In my photos the pegs appear more uniform than they actually are on this chair. The pics were done at night and I didn't even see any through the gesso on the other chair. Today in daylight what appeared to me just an irregularity the other night proved to be the only peg telegraphing through and it is a diagonal oval about 1/4"x3/8". I noticed something else today that intrigued me. The arms are mortised into the back rails which I don't see on my other Chippendale furniture (purchased as known repro because my grandfather carved them). Is this a feature on English repros? I have absolutely zero experience with English furniture and this was a "wife impulse".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
