"     I recently found a pair of these chairs in a Massachusetts antiques shop. Do you know where they were made and what they&amp;#039;re worth? K.K., Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts What it is: SPOOL CHAIRS You&amp;#039;ve nabbed a pair of spool chairs \u2014 a classic design popular since the 1600s. The arms, legs, and rails were carved on a lathe to create the elliptical, ball shapes. The wood has a rich patina, signs of wear, and wormholes, all of which suggest age, but the upholstery looks more recent. Your chairs are probably late-19th- or early-20th-century reproductions of 17th-century pieces, possibly made in Grand Rapids, Michigan, or Gardner, Massachusetts, both of which were centers for colonial revival furniture. Regardless, they&amp;#039;re very attractive examples.   What it&amp;#039;s worth: $300 a pair "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
