[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 1289747, member: 5066"]Yes, very attractive chairs, the 2 distinct styles in the same piece does kinda ID them as victorian era. I am guessing but I'd say they were trying to imitate a "compass" seat which was very popular in the 18th century, it is also an extremely difficult build with hand tools, only master chair makers apply please. Here is a period american QA chair with a "compass" seat. [ATTACH=full]218351[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]218352[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]218353[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
