<p>[QUOTE="Copperdragon333, post: 11075170, member: 84989"]I recently acquired this supposedly Charles the second arm chair and was wondering if there are any experts in 17th century English furniture here that can help. The elderly woman I purchased it from said the chair had belonged to her grandmother, who used to own an antiques shop and frequently made trips to England to buy furniture pieces to sell in her shop. From what I can gather on the interweb, this chair has all of the characteristics of a genuine Charles the second chair, including irregular hand carved details, peg fitted joints, original canning and rough cut wood. I believe the chair seat was originally cane as well but has been replaced with a velvet cushion. Can anyone help identify the authenticity of my chair as well as give an approximate date for it?
