[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 10649, member: 51"]Wow, found the photos, I can't believe it. This was another wicker thrift purchase. A much more interesting chair, in the end came to believe it was also vintage, but found a great photo thanks to the poster named "eclectic seller". Mine was in such amazing condition, solid as a rock, I felt it certainly must be vintage and not older, but posted on what was then the Collectibles board. A few people commented on the post, then eclectic seller came up with a photo found on Ebay of a copper plate advertisement for a Victorian wicker dining chair, and posted it for me just so I could see that there were chairs like this in Victorian times --not to say mine was that old, but that it could be in principle, a copy of such a chair. But the crazy thing was that the photo was almost exactly like this chair! See what you think. 3rd photo down. [ATTACH=full]2428[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]2431[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]2432[/ATTACH] Only a few tiny, tiny differences. Did wind up selling it, I included a printed photo of the copper plate.[/QUOTE]
