Message:: [QUOTE="Skinflint, post: 10171254, member: 90174"]Hi All, I obtained this Paine Furniture Company rocking chair and have it currently dismantled and almost ready to glue and reassemble. There are two missing back spindles that I was able to get replicated locally. The chair was very rickety but no broken pieces but made it difficult for the person selling to be successful…so much so, that they gave to me at no cost just to get rid of it. Because the label is torn the seller assumed the chair was made in New Orleans because the words “Canal Street” were showing. I researched a bit after getting the chair and found out it was actually made in Boston by Paine Furniture Company. I’ve included a pic of a complete label along with the torn label on the chair in the pics. Don’t plan to refinish as I like the patina as is. Haven’t found this exact chair in the couple of archived catalogues online, but the ball-end arms are represented in other similar designs I found in one of the catalogues. Any comments or feedback are appreciated. Thank you.
