<p>[QUOTE="lizjewel, post: 2379779, member: 13874"][USER=37]@verybrad[/USER] You're probably right. Known as <i>French Provincial</i> back in the 1960s, -70s, at least in the Northeastern US. Often spotted in neighborhood homes on the Lower East Side of New York, Brooklyn, Queens, but also in Baltimore, Boston, South Philadelphia, and probably elsewhere too. Very often seen under clear plastic custom-fitted slipcovers. In <i>South Philly-lingo </i>the style was sometimes misnomed <i>Fresh Provisional. </i>This style has yet to return to popularity. It could be fun to own an example properly restored.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
