Then had my summer shoes taken off the ride today. Audi service rep comes out and says um we curbed your wheel on the jack cause it's to low. Now I gotta wait 6 weeks for a new rim but they'll be off so no big deal but geez.

Um, is that loro deerskin?

 

[acebigdawg]

Alden find. Any idea on age?

 

[SpooPoker]

if those aldens are a 9.5 and that loro deerskin is a L….

 

[jdrizzy]

Why are you so casual about dropping loro leather and cuci boots

 

[Jompso]

WOWSERS! That is a throne! I want one of those.

In terms of dating it, that's going to be hard to do unless you can find some sort of markings. Is there nothing? That style of chair and in that quality was made by a lot of manufacturers over decades. So, without a real expert who can identify specific shapes in the lathed wood, I think you might have a hard time nailing down (pun intended) a date.

aw hell, i was going to post all my finds today but ill get to that later. This puppy is fantastic. @impuntura @330CK @ChetB i know (think) its a chesterfield but any thoughts on date or any other things? Its a keeper, not a flipper. No markings that I can see. The bottom feels like metal springs under a canvas sheet that is hand nailed to the frame.

The fact that you got a piece of vintage tufted leather furniture when everyone and their ******* mothers is trying to get on a chseterfeld right now, for 59 goddman dollars, is insane....meanwhile I'm out checkin out replica Courbousier lounges for my living room for 4 bills.... I need to hit the ******* furniture parts of these places...

PM me some detailed shots, constructional stuff, makers mark if you can spot one, etc..whatever you think may loo like it's important...I'll be able to get a real good ballpark for you at leastt, more specific details even maybe

Edit: I mean I can tell flat out that that ******* thing was handmade entirel, that wood is probably walnut with cherry lacquer finishing which is probably fairly recent, zero shot that''s leather cover, those brass pieces are constructional and keeping that **** pulled tight as ****, and thats all hand.... the thing is epic quality no ******* doubt, the leather grade A no doubt, but if you have an original piece you maybe sitting litterally on some ******* gold.....obvious restoration has been done but that doesn't in any way affect value or anything, only if pieces have been replaced, damages been repaired poorly and stuff like that
