Description I am attaching an article I read in a magazine regarding the White House and some of the original furnishings. The chair in the forefront is almost exactly like mine but has arms. My chair is hand carved. Reupholstery uncovered a leg that had been completely broken off and repaired. The wood is delicate - I don't allow anyone to sit on it. The original horsehair is still in seat.
