<p>[QUOTE="Mansons2005, post: 211365, member: 121"]Speaking strictly from a dim and fading memory, back in the late 30s, early 40s my folks were redoing the house on the Island and they were looking for "veranda" chairs" in the STYLE of the late 1700s (thin Mt Vernon). They were very similar to these, but what really brought them to mind here was the width of the seat, an important detail to them. Designed for "lolling" as opposed to normal seating, wherein you did NOT loll or slouch or cross your legs, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
