At first glance, I thought, "it's not antique, it's Victorian!" Well, you know what I mean...

I knew immediately that it's an antique but thought that the wooden seat might have been redone because it looks newer.<br>I don't like it though because it looks uncomfortable and as if it came from a strict household.<br>Lots of athmosphere about it.<br>I prefer furniture made from beech and Ash, blonde and white wood lifts my heart to look at it.

Beautiful chair! I have a massive piece of furniture, a cabinet of some sort and I'm trying to find out if it's antique or not. I'm going to have to check out more of your videos.

Tell you what, I prefer that mahogany chest on chest behind you! Lovely blind fretwork. Not sure about the handles and escutcheons, but a nice thing

That chair is not broke on the seat it was made divided like that its a separation seat im pretty certain if not that is the straightest break ive ever seen and perfect separation that's not possible

The antique hall chair had to be real. No one in their right minds would make something that uncomfortable now. (LOL) Even wooden school chairs weren't meant to keep visitors from lingering. A split in a one board seat is definiltely a good sign of age; a multi-board seat is a sign of post-WWII department store furniture.

Another great post David, the chair I believe to be from the aesthetic design period so 1870’ish maybe late 1880’s.
