<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ghopper1924, post: 581193, member: 5170&quot;]There were not a lot of imitators for Jelliff, because that much carving on the arms would just add to the cost, making it uneconomical to imitate his workshop. There was one other, however, which was Pottier &amp; Stymus of New York City; their work is quite similar although there are subtle differences.</p><p><br /></p><p>So: Jelliff. His shop and &quot;wareroom&quot; were in Newark, New Jersey. This is an excellent example of a chair that was part of a multi-piece parlor set, also containing a sofa and/or loveseat and side chairs. </p><p><br /></p><p>Probably 1865-80, walnut. Jelliff himself had retired by then, but his workshop continued.</p><p><br /></p><p>You got a heck of a deal, Michael77. Even in today&#039;s depressed market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
