Unfortunately it went missing some 23 years ago in a move. I have tried and tried to recreate the geometry, and though it was simple, cannot recall exactly how it folded. Has anyone else an idea?

She had it refinished and re-canned and it is in perfect condition. What I need to know is how to price it. She said it was from a sailing ship and dates around 1880. It is solid walnut. I wil send you a photo if you could tell me how to email it to you. Thank you for your time, V. Owens I inherited a victorian folding chair that my mom had in her attic.

Stewart. Stewart was associated with the Boston Furniture Company. He had several patents on folding chairs. I couldn't find any Boston Furniture Co. chairs as fancy as this one.
