Research A : Furniture sourcing

I have been looking for a second hand chair that I will use it for the project in this subject. Here is the chair that I found at Balaclava salvation army. I got 4 chairs since it came in a set of 4 for only 25$, it was a pretty good deal though :)
These are some photos of the chair that I bought. 







Carver Chair
Carver chair is a specific chair that synonymously with early North America Colonial Design. It is also famous with a name, Colonial spindle back dining chair. The chair is noted with its carved detail and unique backing. The original carver chair are quite rare but reproductions are easily found. The spindles are also on the arm rests and legs, these carved design feature are called turned construction. The armrests and legs are lack of vertical supporting spindles which is used on the chair back as the unique feature on the backrest.
