    The chair is the size of an average dining room/kitchen chair. Appears very old. I purchased them as they were just being dropped off at the consignment store. They appear very old (there were 2, i bought both). The seats come out and back....looks like they were homemade a long time ago because the wood used looked as old as the chairs do. They were originally caned. I say this because of what they look like when you take the seats out. Thank you in advance for any hints!! Most Sincerely, Sandy

      I disagree with homemade because of the press and beading. The chair was commercially made. However someone attempted to refit it at some point. The chair is fairly symmetrical until you look at the pegs under the crest board. Unless the picture is distorted there has been some handyman repair done. Pictures can be tricky but if these are reasonably good pictures I would say this is a single press and agree it is old but not homemade.
