I was tracing the back of one of my father's chairs that I intend to copy, and realized that he has so many fine antiques collected from all over Europe that I thought I would just photograph some of them and share them. I am doing this mainly for inspiration and documentation of the styles and build methods.

Well the test pic of a Queen Anne chair is showing up sideways so apologies if these don't all post correctly. Here are some pics:

Did not know there was a picture limit. I will forego the detail pics of the drawers except one unusually big pair of dovetails

A wonderful shaker rocker, and I won't use any more bandwidth:

That is some beautiful furniture. The design elements and scale are wonderful.
