<p>[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 509690, member: 5066"]No, to me they are different, "my" chair the pommels are "flat sided" and have 3 incised rings/lines, where on MET chair they are more "rounded shape which strikes a dissonant note" and no incised rings either. Naturally, I can blow up the pics to whatever size i want which makes things easier to see but i can't post cuz forum doesn't allow! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Well, restorer was working back in the day & was doing what he thought was best and or the directions he was given and, MISTAKES WERE MADE! trust me. If you look at chair # 4 (not shown in pics) they are like "my" chair, flat sided with incised lines.</p><p>Also, Safford had the luxury of studying the Bolles collection for her entire career after all, she is a furniture scholar and was examining the "whole" of the collection. Safford is saying in a very polite, academic way "we screwed up the restoration on the pommels on chair # 5". <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
