    I have what I call the fancy room. It's has my Grandmothers furniture that was in her parler- formal living room. I have two differnt styles and ages of chairs- the red velvet with grape leaves on top ( I have two chairs ) that are, from what I was told are from 1870's , and the printed chair with roses on top (that I have two of ) that I was told are early 1900's. I also have two side tables, a coffee table, and an occasional table with white marbled tops. All these that I'm posting are idems I would like to know more about...the history and where they were made, etc...

      perhaps this description used may help you find some more information about them. Good luck!
