Well it seems we have more than just a padding issue. First off echoflooring, I agree now that the padding under berber should be no more than 3/8... Last night my wife pulled out a sample of the Karastan she had in the closet and a piece of the carpet scrap from the install. There are differents which make us think, either a substitute or a lower grade Karastan (?) has been installed. The backing on the carpet has similiar patterns as our sample, however, the threading on the back of the install scrap is significantly different and the loop on the berber is not the same...on the sample there is a "shaved" pattern on some of the piles and the pattern in the berber is pronouned. On the scrap there is no shaving, nor is the berber pattern very pronouced. Now I understand it has been in a roll and compressed, but no matter what we do to try and fluff up the scrap, brush it, rake it or whatever, it does not display like our sample. We are really upset with this and will head back to the store today. All along we have been dealing with the owner of this Carpet One store, but now don't trust them. Not only do we think there is a problem with the product, the installer cut the carpet wrong and tried to hide a patch. They have ordered replacement, but now we are concerned the whole job is flawed, from pad to carpet and install. Frustrated!

They look like 1920-40s mass-market chairs based on the 1890s classical revival of the 1780s neoclassical movement because .... 1 - The back x-frames are absolutely flat, not finished to match the fronts like better furniture would be. 2 - the side rails in the neo-classical ones from the 1890s are straight or fluted, not squiggly like these. The squiggles are contamination from the popular "Jacobethan" ornateness of that era. 3 - The front x-frame is also flat, an indication it was jig-sawed or press-cut from plywood and veneered, and has the rounded lip that was widely used in that era. Better chairs would clearly show the individual pieces they were made from. 4 - The upholstery is inset in a delicately curved wooden frame ... the shape reeks of the 1930s popular style.

Your sister's furniture is absolutely lovely! I'll bet she's thrilled. I'd say the dates you're getting here sound about right, 1920-1930ish. It does have an Art Nouveau flair. Here are two that may interest you: This one is more deco than hers: http://www.french-warehouse.com/FW1365.htm This one is more true art nouveau and is dated much earlier: http://www.burchardgalleries.com/auctions/2004/oct1704/01images/l8.htm
