It is a perfect example of reproduction that are very much easy to find in France (where I am from!)The carved details are actually typical of a recent reproduction... In fact the carved details shouldn't be looked at as an indicator of age... at all... <br />If you look at the last two pictures side by side you will see that the leg of the painted chair is (even though less detailed) "finer" than the wooden one, it is not as chunky. Same for the arm shape, yes the wooden one is more detailed but the details are not of great quality, the painted one on the other hand is more deeply carved in the curve and carved in a nicer way...<br />I think you did really weel when you made your choice... cause you pretty much saved thousands on a copy! And painted armchairs with their original patina have so much charm!!!! <br />Good on you ;-)Audreyhttp://www.lamaisondouce.canalblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-89148223795467030972010-09-28T10:33:09.460-04:002010-09-28T10:33:09.460-04:00I added myself to follow your blog.

A bare, striped, unfinished wood looks wonderful on very detailed wood.Lumen Dropshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08319443868793769424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4478201407511428968.post-19193438959019276442010-09-28T00:40:34.164-04:002010-09-28T00:40:34.164-04:00Oh...I just found your blog.
