<p>[QUOTE="Shade, post: 1443465, member: 13402"]Thanks everyone. You all are really great. </p><p>To answer some questions, the chair was discovered by my grand uncle back in the 1950’s at an old money area of Akron Ohio. There was an old mansion being emptied out and they were throwing it away because the home was being sold and was to be renovated. My Grand Uncle liked it and asked them for it. Years later my Grand Uncle gave it to my father in the 1970’s. My dad had it reupholstered around 1979. My father probably stripped som of the old finish off but I know he never sanded it. I seem to remember it being slightly darker, but just slightly. My dad made sure the crafts person doing the upholstery took care to reuse the decorative metal trim pieces that are attached over the red fabric upholstery on all four sides of the seat base. Thanks for the time period estimate because I was curious.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
