[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 10678520, member: 649"]It's had a hard life! IMHO (and I'm no expert) it leans more toward Chippendale-style than Queen Anne but let's see what others say. (Sniped by [USER=37]@verybrad[/USER] !) Queen Anne is a bit more simple and elegant. Photos of construction will help in dating the chair. I believe pressed cane came into use in the very late 1800s but my gut feeling is 20th century for your piece. Replacing pressed cane can be done but it's quite a fiddly job, especially when the seat area is not a true square. [MEDIA=youtube]XiMLol7vJos[/MEDIA][/QUOTE]
