<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 230937, member: 37&quot;]I think 1860s or so spool chair.&nbsp; Just starting to see some renaissance revival influence there in the detailing.&nbsp; Spool furniture had two periods of popularity in the US.&nbsp; Mid 19th century and again in the 1920s-30s.&nbsp; This is from the earlier period.&nbsp; It was not necessarily high end furniture but popular with the masses and country folk.&nbsp; It is sometimes considered part of the &quot;cottage&quot; furniture of the era.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Ironically, I just toured a house museum built in 1872 with nearly all original furnishings intact. In the servant&#039;s quarters were spool beds that the tour guide said had originally been used by the owners in their much less lavish previous house. They had &quot;new&quot; high end renaissance revival furniture in their part of the house.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
