    Hi, I am new to this board and came across this old chair. Iwas wondering if anyone knows if it has any value. I have searched a bit but have not seen any carved armchair handles like this with all these little dots. Hoping you can help.

    In my quick search, those dots are an oddity. I am not very knowledgeable in this area.

    From the following link about furniture of the original period.
    https://www.gutenberg.org/files/51626/51626-h/51626-h.htm#Page_11

    "The chair with spiral legs and other members runs through the larger half of the century, and has significant variations. One shown on Plate 13 has a female head on the uprights of the arms, which represents Mary of Modena. The figure is given at full length in a model that our furniture manufacturers have many times repeated."

    The Auction mentions certain parts of that particular chair may be older & period-actual Jacobean parts on a turn-of-the century chair ?
