It's Irish Hurling, trust me on this. I watch local children play it a lot.
Oh, well done, that's a bargain. The upholstery is horrible, but the chair was a steal. 19th C and a hall chair again, but SO much above the...

it's basically perfume made as a sort of cake? Not liquid.
Possibly, but looking at the way it's yellowed, I think ciggie smoke is more likely. It's all over, not in just one or two places.
