[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 3076330, member: 29"]Top stretcher is unusual with that waviness. Elm seat by the look of it, and early 19th to mid. Splats and arms look ash: beech got used as well, but those look a bit light coloured for beech. I need a closer look at the legs. A nice Thames Valley chair to my eye, anyhow. Not sure the legs have been shortened, when this was made, people were not tall. I don't think the form is right for it to have ever rocked. Absolute bargain.
