Spotted this children size chair in a second hand store and it has just taken my eye. I know the twists in the legs are called either barley twist or Jacobean but would love to know about the animal face carving and a estimate on when it would of been made.

Barley Twist!
by: Michael

Oh man do I love barley twist!!!!!!
I can't see the carving you mention, Lyn.
My neighbor is from Scotland and she has a couple chairs similar to your's. I'll book mark your page and the next time she's over here I'll have her take a look at it.
Take care!!
