[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 611434, member: 5066"]Yeah, oh boy, what's with the interest in these chairs i wonder. Generally speaking These chairs are called "turner chairs" because originally they were turned on a pole lathe in the 17th century. Period examples are primarily Dutch & English No one knows exactly why they were built, some say because of uneven floors of the day, some say "turners conceit", turners showing off their skills. There are no known American period examples[/QUOTE]
