<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mangusbrother, post: 2217081, member: 15170&quot;]Regarding the dark red colour, i&#039;m not entirely sure if it&#039;s a coat of paint or some layer of sealant/varnish that peeled off. </p><p><br /></p><p>Attaching some pictures of the joints i can see. (the one on the leg i&#039;m not entirely sure if it&#039;s a joint or damage yet) It could be damage as the wood feels very soft in some places. I&#039;m finding coloured glue that seems to have been used as filler between the gold and white paint in some places (they also&nbsp; filled in some of the engravings for some reason)</p><p>Apart from the legs the joints seem mostly flat end and while i can&#039;t remove it completely yet it seems like it&#039;s glued on. One of the pictures shows the back of the chair, with the arch made out of 2 curved pieces with a triangular piece cut to complete the arch in between.</p><p><br /></p><p>For something that is just glued on however, it feels absurdly sturdy and heavy, especially with some of the wood feeling somewhat soft. I don&#039;t think any of the wooden chairs built in the last 60 years that i&#039;ve felt before have been this sturdy. Even with one of the joints (in pic) basically not existing i can&#039;t really pry it away with my hands as the other joint is really strong. So i imagine there is something else going on.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the underside someone stapled in some sack-like fabric in and i won&#039;t remove that yet cause then i need to keep my cats away from it. </p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;engraving&quot; on the wood feels very simplistic and definitely not machine made as it is uneven. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]254827[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]254828[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]254829[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]254830[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]254831[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]254832[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
