[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 872010, member: 5066"]Agrees, late 19th at best. There is zero chance your chair is period. (1660-1680) "The Carolean style or Restoration Style denotes the English decorative arts style that became popular after Charles II was restored to the English throne in 1660. The return of the King, after the Puritan severity of the Cromwell period, resulted in an outpouring of enthusiasm for opulence and magnificence and the introduction of French and Dutch artistic styles. Furniture from this period uses floral marquetry in walnut instead of oak, twisted turned legs and supports, exotic veneers, caned seats and backs on chairs and sumptuous upholstery in tapestry and velvet."[/QUOTE]
