<p>[QUOTE="Fern77, post: 4030306, member: 16131"]It's got the back of a Windsor chair (you can call it that, since it's its most visible feature), which is at odds with the quinze cabriole front legs--themselves at odds with the regency/empire saber back legs-- and the drop in seat (not shown in pic). If that wasn't enough, the seat rail looks more neoclassical or seize. By the castors, one can say it was meant as a library chair of sorts (another thing you can call it and would be right, since it concerns function rather than style). </p><p>Not old, no, not very valuable, and (to me) ugly as they come, but pay no attention to that. What matter is if it's comfortable, fits the décor, and you like it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
