Subject:NEED HELP identifying antique Chinese chairs
Posted By: Tim Mon, Dec 20, 2010 IP: 98.254.38.62

Hello, everyone.

I acquired 6 old Chinese chairs from an estate in Palm Beach, Florida.

Photos can be seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/23676403@N07/sets/72157625640228928/

I would like to know what kind of wood they are and when they were made.

The seat boards have shrunk and there is black cloth on the underside of several of the chairs that looks like an old restoration.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Happy Holidays!

Faux bamboo style chairs. Looks like chicken wing wood (which has a tendency to warp and crack)or zhazhen mu. Don't see much age on these chairs...
