[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10315079, member: 2844"]Love the chair, Wave, love the serpents.:) Snakes stand for the eternal cycle of life, and these are two Ouroboros, so even more so. Maybe it was a wedding gift. It looks like a variation of a 19th century Dutch "krakeling" chair. Krakeling means pretzel.;)[/QUOTE]
