[QUOTE="stracci, post: 2165694, member: 13814"]I found this chair at a thrift store last year. It's been reupholstered recently but I can't tell it's age or origin. It looks like a regency chair, but I'm not sure. I started to tear open the underside to look for marks, but there were so many staples! I don't want to undo the bottom in case this chair is nothing special. There are lots of nail holes underneath so it has been reupholstered many times in the past. I think it is filled with straw. I thought it was interesting that the small white dots are mother of pearl. I'm not sure what material the white stripping is made of, but definitely not ivory or wood. The stripping is mostly gone on the back of the chair, but intact around the front of the seat. Can any one help identify?
