[QUOTE="CoreyP, post: 9833282, member: 87524"]Hello all, I have recently been sucked into a wormhole of antique information while trying to identify this old armchair I recently got from my dad. He bought it at an antique market in Houston in the early 80s. In my research, I have followed the general direction that it could be Spanish colonial, possibly from Peru. It seems incredibly old to me, based on a number of things I can get into later. But, I'd like to just post the first picture of the chair in general for first impressions. I've contacted multiple experts, but haven't gotten any concrete satisfactory answers. I'm hoping someone knowledgeable on here will be willing to get into a discussion about it. Two things to note: first, the chair has obviously been broken, and it has obviously been repaired multiple times at different periods in history. Second, there is a prominently carved "P" on the headboard. I look forward to any help I can get.[/QUOTE]
