[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 4292583, member: 5066"]Yes. Period means built in the period, in your chairs case, 1790-1820 or so. Your chair is very likely machine- factory-built, not hand-made as it would have been if built-in period. The plugs on the back of your chair are likely to cover steel wood screws, not the way things were done in 1790. Guesses your chair is 1st quarter 20th century so could still be antique, just not a period example. Value-wise it doesn't matter much if American or English, very little value for a single dining chair either way.[/QUOTE]
