[QUOTE="gen belli, post: 193790, member: 3363"]Afternoon all. I recently purchased an old chair from an auction and was chasing some information about the style, period and also wood type, if it's not a reproduction that is. The only marks I can see is John Parker Jr stamped on the underside and the Roman numerals Vlll etched on the topside of where the seat cushion lays. It also has a faded unreadable sticker on the underside of the chair as well. I have researched a little and believe the leg shape to be in the sabre style which is why I have assumed Georgian. However I thought I would turn it over to some experts within this forum, to collect a bit more concrete information. Many thanks in advance, Gen.
