<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ghopper1924, post: 1345930, member: 5170&quot;]The tag appears to be associated with a later reupholstery or some such. My feeling is that this is a 19th century transitional piece from Federal to Rococo Revival to Renaissance Revival ca. 1860-70 or so, as Cluttered intimated. The piece incorporates the s-curve of the Rococo but little else, so it has a vernacular feel and may be a bit later than the &quot;style leaders&quot; who originally promulgated the Rococo and Renaissance Revival in the 1850s. </p><p><br /></p><p>Armless settees were easier to build - and thus more economical - but were also manufactured as a style choice by top designers like Meeks and Belter. Nice burl![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
