<p>[QUOTE="Zac thomas, post: 250770, member: 4549"]Definitely French Louis style and definitely been painted and reupholstered. It's hard to tell the age as usually the wood is a tell tale sign. If you could perhaps look under the chipped or thinly painted areas at the state/quality of the wood it may help you <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> They do however look pre 1900's. Look for antique French style chairs, louis style furniture and the use of dowels and how it has been put together! You can see it was in pieces and has been put together with dowels or if done at a more recent time, glued <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
