The only place they look a little different to me is where the back/arms meet the front legs. In all the pictures I've seen of the Peabody chairs, the arm piece overhangs the tapered end of the leg just a bit. Yours appear to be flush. But who knows...if they stayed in production for a while, maybe some changes were made. Fingers crossed that they turn out to be the real thing!Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-66522848867400214322012-07-26T13:12:12.346-05:002012-07-26T13:12:12.346-05:00I thought Widdicomb as well.

I had a pair of similar chairs with orange fabric and there was a tag under the seat.

They look high end to me. The way the back/arm meets the front leg made me think Widdicomb, but looking at your photos makes me think Danish. Good pick!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
