Yes, but their arms are broken off.

You could try Roy Schack or Bob Howard. Think they're at Woolongabba.

I hope that the insurance covers the medical bill for the removalists - what a rotten shame...

If you can do it your self why bother with the insurance claim. it dosnt look like a big job to fix. its not a bad looking chair if your into that sort of thing but surly its not that valuble a chair or am i just a misguided bloke who has no idea :confused:

You didn't really want an answer to that last question did you? Bit hard to put a value based on that photograph but Chippendale style chairs are not cheap.

This is definitely a job for the professional, especially if the insurance people are paying.

did Chip himself make it or is it reproduction. how much do you think its worth? 500 1000 1500? mathewa gave the impression he could fix it. so if the insurance companie is true to form and is forcing money onto him for some one to fix it and he dosnt want to, then why not send it to me. it looks as though a few dowells and epoxy will do the trick

Chippendale was a furniture designer not a furniture maker

Heathen and Mongrel! Epoxy and Dowels - on a Chippendale designed chair, no doubt made by a master. Shame on you

I think youl find he was a third genaration all rounder. crafstman, joiner, and carpenter who favored design as he grew up. after he wrote cabinetmakers director is when he became associated with design more than making
