Chair (unknown)

By joeschmoefromkokomo, 11 April, 2009
Description

I don't know anything about this chair except that my Mom has had it for many, many years. I'm trying to find out anything I can about the chair. It appears to be hand carved wood, not machine made. Fabric may or may not be original. It's in good condition except for wear on the fabric and is not cleaned up.

Re: Chair (unknown)

I am a huge fan of Dragonware and have been collecting it for years now. I do not, however, testking 646-046 know very much about it or if I'm even getting the actual antiques versus the copies that seem to be in production right now in China. I have a very large collection right now and I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me how to tell the copies from the antiques and whether or not there is any extremely testking 650-195 rare dragonware that I should be looking out for or might already have. "Fakes" to appear there generally has to be a great demand for the item for which prices have been driven up substantially. As Dragonware is still very modestly testking 70-401 priced and was produced in huge numbers, I doubt that there is any fake stuff out there. As for rare Dragonware, I've yet to see any that would be considered testking 640-460 as such, nearly all of it was mass produced and not particularly of good quality.
