We have a pedestal pre 1800, and a few other ornaments left from when my grandfather had to leave France in 1937 ish for the UK, we had more later and one lot was a dining room set of chairs and table and a side dresser, the sale of both bought my grandmother a house in the 1960's. I am in awe of your chair, what a great history.

We have a big oak chest that would sit alongside it very well, but my husband's grandparents are said to have bought it in the 30s, so we don't know its history.Sue Purkisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084528571944803477noreply@blogger.com
