[QUOTE="Hallingdalen, post: 10548781, member: 93477"]Yes, that 1900–1910s range makes a lot of sense.

The Nordic angle is interesting – that warm, light wood combined with selective ebonization does have a very specific character. The chairs are located in Oslo, Norway so that makes sense i guess? Definitely won’t touch the Dutch Colonial label – though I can see how the color contrast might loosely suggest it at a glance. Still very much in the Northern vernacular camp.
