<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hallingdalen, post: 10548771, member: 93477&quot;]Appreciate the input – and you&#039;re probably right to question the Louis XIII label. I mentioned it because of the turned legs and the leather backs, but I agree that the embossing is fairly shallow and the overall design doesn’t push that connection very far.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I&#039;m trying to figure out is where these actually belong stylistically. They feel earlier than post-war, but not as ornate as late 19th-century high revival pieces. The mix of modest carving, embossed leather, and lighter wood makes me wonder if we’re looking at something from a Northern or Central European tradition – perhaps more alpine or vernacular in nature?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
