He didn’t know anything about the origin. I am hesitant to strip it for fear of ruining it. I smeared the paint when trying, so I put a halt to it! The small portion under the seat that had been stripped is in my pictures. I know the paint is layered and not original. (Someone suggested it may have been originally finished with shellac.) I see a ring starting to form where I tried stripping it, but was scared to explore further. I wondered if that may be a mark? I love this piece and am very curious of its history! Any information or thoughts would be appreciated!</p><p><a href="https://share.icloud.com/photos/0a3YmjVEXL6kKezCErUJFsKIw" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://share.icloud.com/photos/0a3YmjVEXL6kKezCErUJFsKIw" rel="nofollow">https://share.icloud.com/photos/0a3YmjVEXL6kKezCErUJFsKIw</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
