Hello, I'd like to get some info on this chair. thanks, Kim

Hello Kim,
First off welcome to the Arts and Crafts Society an we hope you will continue coming back day after day as there is a lort to be learned from these forums as you will find out.

Now for your chair, it is pretty hard for us to help you if we see no picture of the chair, so if you were to post a few maybe we will be able to help you gather information on them.

Respectfully,

Ralph Jones

Hello Kim,
Great job getting your pictures posted. It is a darned shame that the paper sticker got destroyed. One thing I know for sure is that if it was a Stickley chair there would most likely be a brand somewhere on the chair. L & JG Stickley used the branding iron and then painted the brand red as well as placing some paper stickers or lables on their furniture.

Ralph, your above post is full of misinformation. L & JG only used a branding iron on much later pieces made after about 1912. They never used a branding iron and then painted it in red. They did use a red decal in their earlier period of work although not their earliest. In the absolute earliest they used a paper Onondaga label that is rarely if ever found on a piece. You can sometimes see an oval circle of upholstery tacks that mark where it was. Gustav used a branded mark mostly post 1911, before that he used a variety of similar red decals along with paper labels. Stickley Bros. used a paper label, then a metal tag and finally a branded mark that was never painted red. Charles Rohlfs sometimes carved his mark in and did indeed paint it red, he was the only artisan of this period to do this.

The pictures of the above chair looks a little like Limbert. L & JG also did a chair with similar slats under the arms, but I think its overall shape was different.
