<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Circa71, post: 467585, member: 9620&quot;]Thanks everyone! I&#039;m glad this chair is so comfortable, because I will have to sit in it for some time while I learn about these old vintage early 20th century pieces as well as &quot;real&quot; antiques, and learn to spot the difference ... I have some 1930s glassware and small appliances in the attic and they&#039;re pretty nifty, too, yet feel so much older than all my MCM stuff. I can&#039;t wait to get my hands on some stuff from the 19th century!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m thinking that perhaps this footstool, which I also snagged from the same place, is probably 1930s American then, too? I can&#039;t get a gauge on the material -- it&#039;s <i>almost </i>like a 1940s nylon freize, but it feels more velvety. Brownish maroon, and faded. More maroon than brown -- almost like a ruby that has sustained several decades of dust after the ballrooms and parties ended. But, like the chair, completely solid &amp; serviceable.</p><p><br /></p><p>[GALLERY=media, 3961]footstool by Circa71 posted Jan 20, 2019 at 1:43 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p><br /></p><p>[GALLERY=media, 3960]footstool by Circa71 posted Jan 20, 2019 at 1:43 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p><br /></p><p>[GALLERY=media, 3959]footstool by Circa71 posted Jan 20, 2019 at 1:43 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p><br /></p><p>This was the basement stuff. There were a few more pieces, including an ornately carved chair, but the padding on the arms was exposed and worn away and the material on the front of the seat was completely gone, revealing a stuffing of what looked like short pieces of hay! I passed on it. With my luck, that was the <i>real</i> antique![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
