Hi,
Recently I bought a nice chair. It is unusual as the seat area is larger then normal chairs.
Can anyone help me to establish the age of that chair?
Kind Regards ,
Liliana

Ha !! Just have seen quite a bit of furniture from the UK !! I doubt seriously that it was made this way !! Craftsmen were better than that !! Let me explain what i am looking at >> in your second set of pics, the one that shows the legs !1 Number one pic,, see where the stain and finish stop close to the top of the leg where it goes into the frame !! Never would raw wood been left like that !! The two extra braces that have a white look were added later !! In the last pic I can not think of any reason a nicely carved seat would be covered by a cushion and if you pay attention to the corners where the legs meet the frame,, it does not fit !! Now my idea of its age can be from 1920 to about 1940 !! I suspect on the lower end of that !! But furniture was not simply discarded in that era it would have been made usable !! And in the last pic,, can you see the shadow of a rectangle in the center ?? I suspect that was a makers label which was often a metal plate with the name on it and the location !! I think the seat was just flipped over for some reason and what you see as the top which is covered by the cushion was originally the bottom of the seat !! Scotland was also known for larger than normal chairs,, so Scotland or Ireland is where I think this chair is from !!
