[QUOTE="Hallingdalen, post: 10545851, member: 93477"]The seller only has the title "Old chairs" in the ad. I [I]suspect[/I] the carvings on the front apron and back might be applied rather than cut directly into the frame, which would suggest a later piece or a stylistic revival? I definitely see how the proportions and materials could point to a more recent origin than I initially assumed.
