[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 8463906, member: 2844"]If you don't like the chair, just send it to me.:happy: The bentwood construction reminds me of Thonet bentwood. Thonet was a German who made his first famous chair in Vienna in 1849, which covers both countries you mentioned.;) The style of painting also reminds me of that on a ca 1850 doll's bed painted by one of my ancestors. He worked in the south Dutch-German border area. No harpy on the doll's bed though. Stylised Gothicky wolves' heads, which may not be much better on a child's toy.;) But I always loved them, I also played with it as a little girl. So 1850s would be my time frame, and possibly Germany or Austria. But let's wait for the others.[/QUOTE]
