Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png):
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.
