[QUOTE="Sedona, post: 228018, member: 4438"]Thank you, all. I agree, I couldn't quite place my finger on the style. It is less ornate than what is often seen in Victorian-era furniture, and the light carvings and stain color suggest Eastlake, but it doesn't quite "fit" the style. It is definitely comfortable. Also, what does one call the spindles on the arm? Spindles? (Perhaps a silly question, but I just don't know.) I appreciate the feedback on the upholstery as well. It is kind of a country French (or English). I have an old Spanish house, with a dark beamed ceiling, so my living room furniture runs darker, such as burgundy and brown fabrics, deep red leather with nailheads, etc. I have an old Victorian cast iron pub table in there with the original white paint, so that lightens it up a little. I do intend to post photos of its neighbor when I get some quality photos. Even though I took photos with my cell phone, the photos were at too high a resolution to post.[/QUOTE]
