While that particular collection does not exist, there are similar pieces. 3916-01 is close to the dining chair, though this model has a rolled arm and I don't know if it is possible to customize this piece. Selke has a new line through Vanguard that is lovely.Mrs. Blandingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06402207636108999627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487945587083638331.post-44942120996151326232009-01-22T09:48:00.000-06:002009-01-22T09:48:00.000-06:00Inspiring pictures today.
