It was completely depleted by the 1850s.This chair is in original condition. We attributed this fine chair to cabinet maker Earnest Hagen."Ernest Hagen" open his business in1858 forming a partnership with his old friend and shop mate J. Mathew Meier under the firm name of Meier & Hagen after buying out their old employers, A. Dohrmann, keeping it up at the old place #106 Norfolk Street. Hagen worked on many important original Duncan Phyfe pieces. Hagen furniture was made with the same attention to detail and period design that Phyfe used so he was recommended by people needing their period pieces restored or reproduced in exacting detail. Hagen furniture is highly sought after and in many important collections. Please see Nancy McClellands Duncan Phyphe and the English Regency from 1795 to 1830, Measures 25 inches deep,36 inches to top of back,14 inches to seat, flairs from 20 and one half inches at back to 23 inches at its front.

Thank you for your quick reply. I am really shocked at the price. I knew many people here wanted it, but probably figured I didn't know what I had and they wanted to buy it for nothing. I am glad I held on to it.
Thanks again!
