<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 6688, member: 37"]I still think walnut but it is hard to tell from these narrow sections. As for the fabric, I do think horsehair. Whether this was real or a synthetic simulant, I do not know. It did have a look of heavy silk but was much more durable. The fact that some of this fabric has survived 100 years or more intact is testament. They also used horsehair as stuffing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
