<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 141256, member: 37"]Unusual chair. I'm not sure I would call it a corner chair but a round chair with novel leg configuration. Styling would place this to very early 20th century, Prairie School or Arts and Crafts Style. There were somewhat similar barrel chairs made in the Mission style and Frank Lloyd Wright even had a chair with some similarities. They did not have the unusual leg configuration seen with yours. I believe the intended finish is mahogany rather than walnut. A top coat of tung oil varnish and paste wax will approximate the antique finish you are seeking.</p><p><br /></p><p>Typical Mission barrel chair by Plail Bros.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]37407[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Frank Lloyd Wright.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]37408[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Even bears some similarity to some office chairs of the day.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]37410[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the only chair I could find with similar fixed leg configuration.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]37406[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
