<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 9833385, member: 8267&quot;]I find the &quot;foliate head&quot; on the front rail odd. I associate that motif more with medieval England and northern Europe than anything from colonial Spanish areas. (If you google &quot;foliate head motif in English art&quot; many examples come up, but virtually none if you substitute &quot;Spanish art&quot;.)</p><p><br /></p><p>That part of the chair also looks lighter in color, like it might be a different kind of wood - but that may just be the lighting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking at the back, I wonder if the chair is some type of pastiche, with the side wings and crown (the parts with the South American-seeming motifs) having been added after the original construction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
