<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 38562, member: 37&quot;]This is a Louis XVI style balloon-back chair.&nbsp; The similar one in the Ruby Lane link is labeled as Louis XV style but I think it is more transitional.&nbsp; It does have the cabriole legs typical of Louis XV style so they may not be wrong in labeling it as such.&nbsp; The OP&#039;s chair has the straight legs and is very typical of the Louis XVI style.&nbsp; All that said, I do think this a late 19th century revival piece.&nbsp; It is possible that it is 20th century but, if so, from a quality maker.&nbsp; The wood seems to be walnut and I can&#039;t tell if it is hand carved or done by machine without closer examination.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
