<p>[QUOTE="RobMassier, post: 199370, member: 3695"]This is a chair dating to around 1820. The thick veneer, cut by hand rather than machine helps date this. The wood is mahogany with flame mahogany panel on the back. The carved roman numerals, 9, show that it was one of a large set. The reeded front rail and legs are good quality, as is the leaf carving. I can't find anything about John Parker Jn, but I'd guess he could be american. Therefore, this would be federal period. Well worth doing more research on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
