There is no date on this chair but it has passed through more than one family in its existence, which attests to its sturdy construction. This chair can be unbolted to fold it flat making it into a traveling chair of years ago. The interesting pattern work in the chair back, which originally was done with a coping saw, is produced with a pattern, the router and guides. Router joinery holds the leg system together and supports the patterned back and seat frame that was leather covered.
