This is a hand painted and hand carved ladder back wooden chair. I believe it is from a Swedish community in Ct from the early 1900s. It is possible that it was imported from Sweden. The rush seat is intact and strong. It is held together with wooden pegs.

Very sturdy and comfortable wooden chair. I can only find 2 nails in it. One starts the leather strip and the other one to finish holding it. The braces are all strong and the chair does not squeak and nothing is loose on it. One end of the leather strip has broken from the original nail but it does not affect the stability of the seat. It is very firm. It appears to have a makers mark imprinted on the top of the seat back slat. I can't find much info on this so I would like to know if anyone has an idea of the maker's mark and possible furniture style and era. The wood is hard and it has a tight grain. Thanks.

This chair may originally be from Germany, Victorian era. My grandmother passed this chair to my mother, then to me, but I think my great-grandmother may have bought it.
Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png):
I have three chairs from a set of more (the other chairs were passed down to other family branches). The rocking chair is pictured here. I've also taken pix of the wood of the rocking chair's arm, back, and bottom. We also have a regular signle chair and a larger loveseat (for two very small people!) with only one arm. I had these re-covered a few years ago.

This chair was given to me with a matching rocking chair. I'm not sure how old it is or if it is of any value but I would like as much information as I can find. So far, I have not had any success finding any information on windsor chairs made by Webster Manufacturing Company.
