    Picked this up a while back. 19th century maybe? And I am wondering if it's walnut or chestnut or something else... Thanks for taking the time to look - and for your input :)

    Aha oak - don't know why I didn't even think of it. Thanks CC - how would you describe the shape of the back?

    Now you are asking for details I don't know the answer to. Sorry.

    Wait for one of the other furniture people.

    This is basically a T-back, though a bit of an exaggerated form. Most are pretty straight across the top. This one has a bit of an art nouveau flair to it.

    Thanks Brad - appreciate the input. I knew the top was a bit out of the ordinary. It's a T-back - with flair! :)
