[QUOTE="EmilieRCincy, post: 3700906, member: 18895"]Hello! This is my first time posting, I'm hoping that maybe you smart folks will be able to help me better understand this chair I've inherited from my grandparents. It was left in the home my great-grandparents bought in the 1930s/1940s by the previous owners. They lived around Waupun, Wisconsin. The design appears to be pressed, it has red glass eyes. The seat seems to be put together with a biscuit/plate joint, but the arms and some of the leg spindles are joined with screws. No markings or papers of any kind. Don't read too much into the seat, I just caned that (my Grandma says it was caned when she got it from her in-laws, but the seat was failing so she had taken it off and created a cushion for it). Any ideas or information you can share with me at all are super appreciated! I keep looking at different pictures online and can't find anything quite like it - so even just knowing what terms to search for the style of arms/legs/back would be great. Thanks!
