<p>[QUOTE="antidiem, post: 9510303, member: 30"]Yes it's very possible these could have been made and sold farther north. The back story on Prudent Mallard is that the furniture was made in Europe in sections / pieces, shipped to the U.S. and assembled and upholstered. It has been said that Mallard's own shop in the New Orleans French Quarter held mostly upholstery fabric and samples. I'm not sure where it was all assembled. This type of furniture appears world wide, so Mallard's company was not the only company to do such work. It tends to give consistency to the furniture, shown by the way the 2 chairs "match" to each other excellently, only the top finials differ. </p><p><br /></p><p>A Mallard finial is generally an oval without carving in it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
