<p>[QUOTE="Dawnno, post: 611341, member: 10171"]Welcome. I'm not a furniture collector, but found the style intriguing, and, for sure, that style doesn't seem to want to be easily found online. But I found one similar in structure, which doesn't necessarily mean anything: </p><p><a href="http://www.chipstone.org/images.php/569/American-Furniture-2007/American-Board-Seated-Turned-Chairs,-1640%E2%80%931740" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.chipstone.org/images.php/569/American-Furniture-2007/American-Board-Seated-Turned-Chairs,-1640%E2%80%931740" rel="nofollow">http://www.chipstone.org/images.php/569/American-Furniture-2007/American-Board-Seated-Turned-Chairs,-1640–1740</a></p><p><img src="http://www.chipstone.org/imgpublications/1/28/569/smTrent-10.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Great chair, South Africa, eighteenth century.

Just my impressions and something to get the ball rolling; maybe the furniture people will steer you in the right direction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, given the international nature of this forum, any clues as to which country it was last seen in?
