I need help identifying a particular chair style. I've gone though my entire "library" looking for something similar, but have had no luck. Can anyone give me some insight to this chair? It is obviously an early Philadelphia Queen Anne style. The chair is a reproduction Gene Landon made within the last year or two.

Tom,

This chair was sort of offered as a
companion to a more recognizable QA arm chair
we did back in 2009.  I think there is a reference in Downs.  I cannot
remember the item number, but I will have a look tonight.

As I recall the commonality between the two chairs was the arm.  One of the
unique characteristics is the tapered knuckle on
the arm.  The scroll is bigger on the inside that it is on the outside.

Is there something specific that you are looking for?

Tony
