The chair, which I think was bought at salvation army or the like, is broken, and i need a new one. Where do I go to ask an expert what kind it is (most of the chair is intact, but I need a new one, believe me, don’t suggest repair) so I can order a new one? Antique shop?

And before you ask, I don’t have a digital camera or a scanner yet, so I can’t post pictures on here so you can tell me. That’s out.

I just took it to an antiques dealer, and he says it’s:

A bentwood chair  
French Provincial style

but that’s it.
