Mayflower was (is?) a moving company.

The tag looks as if it says Mayflower Trans----- (Transport?). I think the chair (and every other piece of furniture in the load) was tagged, so that it could be checked off and accounted for when it reached it's destination.

The center section of the chair seat is gross and nasty. If you decide to sell as is, at least cover it with a towel or chair pad. Is that mildew on the fabric on the back? I'd try to clean that first (outside), and see what happens. Do you have a steam cleaner?

Definitely a moving tag. I still sometimes find them on our stuff.

Love the back piece. True the seat has had it. But if you recover it and that back won't suit think about framing it.

I found this today......it was sitting in the parking lot. It looks to me like someone used it for their dog to sleep there, see how torn up the arms are? IMO take it back to the parking lot.

I going to have recover ,and yes I have a steam cleaner, and there is no dog wear on arms only one arm is wear and not from a dog. This is a Louis XV style Armchair , I don't think I will take it back to the parking lot , but I will take to Store to have recover to like new, and take Money to parking lot with a Bank ! Wood carving are very good all around chair. I think a old person was her or his favor chair to the end.

When describing furniture such as this I would use "In the style of" or "imitation" or "reproduction" of Louis XVI. If it were a genuine, period chair, all the upholstery would be hand done. Please do not represent the chair for something it is not.

I believe she said it was a Louis XV style chair....Wondering if you took a crabby pill this morning? ;-)

I not here to hear things like taking pills or dogs sleeping on chair ! I an hear to learn about antique , vintage items, So keep your %*#! to your self. if my pictures where better you would see hand carve wood, but I was just asking about the yellow tag. Have a nice day. Haters
