<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 10519999, member: 6444"]Another confusing post. With a link to another clueless seller. The first one claimed her chair was from the 1600’s. At least this one is taking theirs into the 19th century with their estimated date of 1780-1800. (Which really makes me wonder how this dealer can pin such a generic chair down to a 20 year range, and why that 20 year range?) The best part? This Los Angeles dealer states this style of chair is “Adirondack”. Hilarious if you know Adirondack furniture.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope scholarship has not been reduced to google lens searches. Why not post pics of actual early American chairs from reliable sources like the one in your link I asked you to add before? There are a ton of early American chairs at the Met, MFA, historical societies, etc. I really have lost interest in the claims of hack dealers trying to make an ill-informed buck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or talk to me instead of simply posting links.
