This chair was made in the USA, is made of oak and has the classic Merklen Brother trade mark of the brass claw and oak ball feet on the front legs. The legs are reeded and turned, and this is continued on the uprights. The seat is shaped and very comfortable with a seating height at 17". The back rails are carved with simple detailing. There is a stencilled number of 290 - as per pictures - on the base of the stretcher and seat. Is of good colour and patina, with no repairs.
