Picked these up on marketplace for $20 yesterday, planning on regluing as many joints as possible, sanding, and hitting them with some shellac.

So far, I've gotten the legs off one, but i THINK the round portion of the back is attached to the seat with wedged tenons, but it's hard to tell because of how old and beaten up the wood is.

If they are, any tips on disassembling wedged tenons?

I'm thinking if they're still adequately glued, too just leave them alone, because i can't think how I'd get a glued wedge out
